It’s a personal lease so includes VAT, delivery to my house and the road tax for the duration.

The paperwork came through yesterday so just got to wait for a delivery date now 😁

That will be with VAT included. My 20i was £3000 upfront and 23 x £262, 10K miles per annum. Upfront could be adjusted, I chose £3000 to have lower payments later.

It's first time I've seen lease on Z4 ever. There was good promo on 840i in January 2020. Quite a few people jumped on that, but excess mile cost of 40p per mile discouraged me.

Whoever ordered red, will have a call about lack of availability in stock and will be offered white. I actually don't mind, because I considered white any way. Also, price went down and my new quoute is £3000 + 23 x 241 = £8,543, 2 years, 10K miles per annum.

Still 8-10 weeks for delivery.

Mine (if it arrives) is base M40i spec with just the comfort pack added.

I went for 4 years (8,000 miles) for £360/month + £2.5k deposit which seemed like good value to me, especially as it includes the road tax.
how did you get that price? on their website its £6k deposit and over £800 a month

It was flash sale lasting two days (until stock run out).

There's "Best Leasing thread" on Pistonheads forum, where people post good deals. There are also some leasing comparison websites.

One person was already contacted about delivery this week, so cars are real and will be coming. I'm waiting patiently for revised contract and contact from the dealer.

I negotiated delivery at the end of September. Cars must be registered by the end of the quarter. Mine will be coming from Milton Keynes. I find it a bit funny, as it's my friend's local dealership, he complained about it over the years. Yet, still getting his cars from there.

2 months wait, but on the other hand, 2 more months with Abarth and its great, loud exhaust. Also, it will be more convenient to change cars in 2 years in September, instead of middle of the summer and align my travel plans to it.

Plus the extra every year the Government increase it for the emission band. :D :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

It’s arrived!

In answer to a few questions I’ve been asked regarding the car from Zen leasing…

- I selected a Mon am delivery. Deliver driver called en route to say he’d be here at 10. He was.
- It arrived on a trailer with 21 miles on the clock.
- Car has a manufacture date of 07/21 so factory fresh!

Zen have been really easy to deal with.

All looking good!

Will post some photos later hopefully.

Great. I also exchanged a few emails with other lucky driver, who had his car delivered on Friday morning. His arrived on wheels, at 7.30am. Maybe it depends on the distance.

I'm 90 miles from MK dealer, so not bothered if it comes on wheels.

I’m about 80 miles from the dealer. The deliver driver did say they normally only trailer them if over 100 miles though.

My Z4 is almost here. Got delivery arranged for Friday. Organised all paperwork, insurance, etc. My previous lease car was inspected today and will be collected on Thursday.

I plan to drive on summer tyres for a week to get a feel of the car and then swap to winter ones (which are already waiting in the garage) and go for a road trip in Europe. Looking forward to clocking thousands of miles in brand new car :-) Hopefully, weather will cooperate and I will take nice autumnal shots while there.
