What do you think is a fair price on a BMW 330d M-Sport Business media leased for 3 years with a 1.3k down payment?

I have seen one for £440 a month inc VAT over 3 years with 10k per annum.

Oh adn do you think i should go for maintenance which is about £35.00 per month (I f i can remember correct.)

Regards

You'll get one for under £400 without too much problem.

Try here:

With regards maintenance, I wouldn't bother unless you are doing high mileages. If you are doing under 10K per annum then it wont need a service for 2 years. Then maybe another a year after? (but not too sure about that). Nonetheless, it wont cost a lot in the first 3 years for servicing.

My E90 is just coming up to 2 years old in September and done 13K miles and never had a service. Its due in a couple of months.

Maintenance includes tyres as well usually but still not worth doing

I'd take the prices you see on contracthireandleasing.com with a very large pinch of salt. Possibly my experience was the exception rather than the rule but while trying to replace my wife's Touran the firms on there usually didn't have the cars, couldn't get the cars, couldn't get the cars for those prices, hid extras or just didn't get back in touch.

Yeah checked these out, I have been told that internet companies have a LOT of hidden fees.

Just realised you're in Sheffield. I'll drop you a PM.

[Bored of Audi]

Hi Ryan,

I have also just realised you are in Sheffield and I have one on order from a local lease company (not sure I can mention it on here) who ordered it from the local steeler so I have sent you a PM...

[Bored of Audi]

Rich,

what colour is your F30 ?

[BMWRyan]

Cheers lads for the input and advice. I have already sorted it before I read the pm's. can't wait!

[davyk31]

So what deal did you get??

[BMWRyan]

I'm meant to be sorting signatures out tomorrow so not 100% committed but the top deal is the best I've found tbh for that spec of car with 0 hidden fees (by top deal I mean my post I started thread with.)

I've just taken delivery of my lease baby. It's a 330d F31 M Sport with a few options.

I took a 3+23 on 10k a year. Came to 431 with the options - about £390 without.

The 3+23 vs 6+23 makes a big difference - the 6 drops the monthlies, but you're paying more overall so always do the calcs in a spready before committing.

I went with central uk vehicle leasing. They seem to have a very similar or even better deal on now: http://www.centralukvehicleleasing.c...ess_media.html

I would recommend that you a) contact them for quotes as they can beat even what's on the site if they're comparing and b) go for prof nav. I went business and it's nowhere near as good - defo go pro - worth the extra like £10 a month.

The only niggle in my case is that they messed up the trim option. It's a small and no-cost thing but leaves a slight bitter taste in my mouth. Definitely triple check the order confirmation doc and make sure all info is there. Otherwise I recommend the company and their admin department are very good (a little quiet, but responsive when pinged).

£605 per month 1 + 47, on 15k pa. Spec as signature.

You say £10 a month for prof nav? Seems cheap. Are you say some options are cheaper than others? And are they cheaper than the list price?
Also, what options did you get for £431 a month?
Cheers.

I might even be able to get the derive version or pro media for 369+ vat a month just gotta wait. My requirements are xenon headlights, H&K speakers, tints and I'd be happy.

I would wait for M Sport+ to hit the options list then (it includes all those). It's likely to be cheaper on a lease.

this!

The only 'options' that are not charged full whack on a lease is the nav. The options I had were adaptive suspension, heated seats and folding mirrors. It was about £20 for the suspension and £10 each for the seats and mirrors - basically paid full cost over the term of 2 years. If you're on a 3 year lease, it'll cost less per month for the options, but you'll pay for them over the term.

BUT - if you get the MS+ trim, that will get factored into the overall price of the lease - i.e. there's value in the trim when you hand it back, so you don't pay full whack for it. That's why the nav options can be cheap to spec on a lease - the business nav was cheaper than no nav and the prof was (just checked my email history) about £30 more than business. That's why I didn't spec it I guess. But check quotes and spin out loads of requests for quotes and keep going until you hear the words 'I can't match that price - you should take it'

Do you mean are some options cheaper than straight forward list divided by payments? If you do then yes. Pro Media for example is reckoned to add to the residual so isn't just £2k divided by 24/36/48/whatever. On the other hand eg electric memory seats add virtually nothing so costs all of the £900+.

I'll actually be covering the fogs with yellow Lamin-x when I get 5 minutes

What looks the best/aggresisive in that photo. The F30 in my opinion.
