Just got this to my owrk inbox...

never dealt with this company so cant give any recommendations on dealing with them and TBH don't actually know how we ended up on their mailing list, but either way this looks like a really good deal on a 2 year lease

That's a lot of car for £50'ish a week..

Prob a combination of massive discount and form residuals.

I believe a private individual pays the same but can't claim back the Vat

Try Tony Lewis at Berry ... via Baby BMW he is excellent on private stuff - see how he does versus this.

Advertising a car as 340hp and 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is as well targeted to guys, as telling a woman that a dress is 50% off. Neither can see the real price or cost, nor care...

I really don't see the appeal of the fast 1ers at all :? Hardly a nice looking car :o little to distinguish from its 118d sisters & being blunt the 1 has never been a looker on any year with only the 1M coupe ever looking remotely fetching :cry: even then its no Cayman but can be gotten over with its overall package :wink:
Each to their own but the deal sum's it up for me £199 a month is Nissan Qashqai money which also have zero temptation whatsoever :cry:

its not £50 a week though, its closer to £90 a week when you work it all out.

Some might say that's worth it, for some it might be the only route into a decent new car.

Definitely agree with Mr Wilks in that the one in the photo looks identical to a 118D that parks round the corner form my work, honestly though it was the M when I first saw it there. Personally I can only tell when you look at the rear end but maybe people more versed on the 1er can tell straight away. This is a bad thing to a lot of people but also probably as many people like the fact it's a bit of a sleeper and the average Joe wont know it from its cheaper cousin so you can surprise people who want to play and you are less likely to find its been keyed by some jealous t**t. Personally I like my car to look more sporty and a bit different to the norm hence driving a Z4!

Still I worked it out before I posted it and it comes all in with deposit and VAT to almost bang on £80 a week which for what is basically a rental seems pretty decent especially given the relatively short 2 year term. TCO is £8400 over the term and if you were to buy one to keep a few years you are almost losing that full amount in the first years depreciation meaning you get the second year free!

Obviously not for everyone this kind of deal and at the moment 100% not for me but just stood out enough to make me think it was worth a share!

Got a 360bhp Golf ED30 on drive at the mo if i want to take off like a epileptic mongoose that cost a fraction of the 140i & will hold or increase its value :wink:
