New BMW metal

Popped in to my local dealer today and had a nose round a few cars.

New 3 series is a lot nicer in the flesh I have to say, they only had a white 320d msport with silver grilles and it looked ok.
I was hoping they had more with black grilles but I did see one today on the road and I think that the colour combo really has a big effect on the grille issue.
Interior was nice and does seem more spacious than the f30.

Saw a few Z4s and I have to say I quite like them, whiff of hairdresser but again nicer in a showroom.

Lots of 8 series as well and they are huge but nice looking things.

Had an M5 CP and I REALLY want one of those..

As an aside had an xc60 for the day today and going from that to sitting in a 3er made me realise I did like the low down seating position, so long as you have the power etc to feel like you are in something sporty.

I also popped into the local, only to use the bathroom honest

I've never seen so many low spec 1 series. 116i 118d loads of manuals coming through in the big stock clearance push. Not a single 120d or M140i though.

Row of five G20 320d's when I was at the dealer this morning, plus three 8 Series and quite a few X2's. Most eye-catching car was actually this 320d...

Has anyone had any good deals on the new 3 series yet? The look really expensive on PCP at the moment or is it just me?

Yep dear, I was going to order one but the monthlies for just a 320d M Sport were comedy and I’d ideally want a decent spec 330i.

I managed to get a 15.3% discount off a330i MSport through an internet dealer.
That % discount includes the free Technology Pack that was available
until the end of March.

Was lucky enough to have a fully loaded 850i on extended loan over the weekend, what an amazing piece of engineering, not sure it’s worth the £124k list price though.

Excess dealer stock of the G20 some 2 months after launch suggests good discounts on the way...

Love that colour. Nearly got a 240i in the same colour 8 months back. It looks bloody gorgeous in G20 metal.
