The Countdown has Begun

Post by Avallon » Thu Aug 07, 2014 10:45 pm

Since Christmas I'd been planning on leasing an SLK 250 CDI...

Then three months ago I just had a play with drivethedeal (looking at pretty much every single car) and found the Z4 Sdrive18i for a mere £21k....

Then I spotted the Sdrive28i with 30% discount and was immediately sold.

Picking up my Alpine White / Coral Red M-Sport with Cruise and Service Pack (yes poverty spec I know!) at 9am on the 1st of September.... :driving:

The only problem is that my first journey will take me to Oldham... :cry: :fuelfire:

Even Oldham is worth going to in your new Z. :D

Yep I'll really be able to let her rip on the m62 50 mph average speed cameras :p

On the other hand, there is a white e89 I see fairly regularly going the other way so I'll be able to wave...

I love the fact that the 30% discount sold it rather than the actual price. Mrs Budfox thinks like that.

Well it was the increased level of discount that made the higher model up a better value proposition for me by bringing the price in at £26.5k, providing the M-Sport package and much better performance for £3.5k extra.

Hi, did you do the deal direct with BMW or through drivethedeal? I got quoted on a sDrive28i with comfort pack and black paint £29,129.

Direct with BMW. I would have had to drive from North Lincs to Hampshire to pick the car up if I went through the cheapest broker (Broadspeed). Price seems to have gone up v. slightly.
