What do you guess this quarter's offer will be?

[Andrew*Debbie]

BMW hasn't put up an offer for the e89. Offers typically run quarterly. This one will be for April 2012 to June 2012.

 

[ZermattV]

Hmm Spring is in the air ... (well bar the 6" of snow outside) ...

Next offer September

 

[KeithJ]

I also think with the weather being nice there wont be much of an offer. I have went for 5.9%

 

[Glaikit]

Hope they don't give the previous deal on the 28i

+1 for next offer in September. Soon be summer and am sure they will have filled their production slots nicely with the previous offer.

 

[Bing]

Agree with the above - I would doubt there will be another offer right now. The good deals were timed to get their sales numbers up for the end of the financial year in March. New year, new targets, instructions to do better... I live this life every year myself

Of course I am happy to be proven wrong, and a deal on a 2.8i might be too much to resist :evil:

 

[Wondermike]

I thought the previous deals included the 28i if you asked, a couple on here got £8k contributions on a 28i.

I don't think there will be an offer. Sales will be low, anyone remotely interested in an E89 will have found the previous deal too good to pass up, and for anyone unsure, if the old deal wouldn't tempt them, then a standard 10% finance with 7% off list isn't likely to either.

I'm waiting for the 35is £299 a month plus cashback deal

HAHA

i clicked who cares!

if bmw produced a better deal than i got, i would be gutted.

Just wish when i am about to chop car is we get some deals on 5 series

lol, I wouldn't hold my breath on that one (if they did offer it, it would have been on April 1st ...

Personally, having owned an e89 for the last two years, I'm now ready to move on so am not fussed about new deals, I don't want to own a Z4 for another 4 years certainly . . Methinks a complete change into luxury next, like the 5 Series GT having seen Socket R's I think I'm warming that way..

 

[KeithJ]

I will get a 5 series next... getting too old... I am 27 FFS!

Codger! Do you smoke a pipe and wear a flat cap?

Couldn't be tempted into the E89 at all. I think BMW have made a big faux pas with the positioning of the Z4.

Frankly if I had a z4m and was happy with it, I wouldn't go e89 either. For me the e89 improved on the comfort that the e85 lacked, but at the same time I've lost the fun that the e85 gave me. I turn 42 at the end of this year, so comfort is getting higher on the agenda for me!

 

[envy]

im 35 and yeah one of the reasons for getting rid of the e85 was the comfort side with more and more potholes popping up everywhere it was becoming unbareable..... i guess the 20's didnt help lol

 

[Andrew*Debbie]

So far there is no advertised national offer for the e89. There must be trunk money because Halliwell Jones are offering £5022 deposit contribution and 7.5% on a plain vanilla sDrive20i.

So with a zero option car £3000 down / £329 month for 48 months and option final payment of £10,696.50. Residual is lower 'cause it isn't an M-Sport.


Not a bad deal but nowhere near as good as what they were offering last quarter.

Is it because summer is coming (haha!!!) and convertables sell better in the summer (apparently), so they dont need to entice orders, whereas the Q1 offer was to get convertable orders during the winter months?

 

[pvr]

I was at the dealers on tuesday whilst they swapped summer to winter tyres for the wheels I bought for the X5, and they told me that they have stopped any incentive that makes them a loss on the overall deal. That is the reason I had to buy my X5 at a different dealer who was still interested in target quota rather than individual car sales profit.

With BMW as a group making bumper sales this year so far, I doubt they will over incentify for a bit.

 

[Andrew*Debbie]

Well yes, but they usually build fewer UK market convertibles during the winter too. Regensburg builds the new 1 series and the body shop at Regensburg builds some of the 3 series bodies.



Hmmm... Looks like Regensburg started assembling 3 series sedans March 1st. The new 3 has been a huge seller for BMW.

1/3 of the production at Regensburg is now 3 series sedans. -- Most of the rest will be 1ers.

I wonder if the big push of e89s built in February was part of a plan. Maybe they wanted to keep the assembly line busy ? Or ????






Snow on the Mountains today. It snowed in Bethesda and Llanberis too.
