Enjoy the Finish music festival!

Maybe the delay is both pdk and lag in combination.

Whilst I am about to place my order for an X3 M40i, I do still have a Porsche in my plans. I was going to buy a new TT for my wife. A pre-loved Cayman should be on our list too.

So you haven’t completed wasted our time then - 14 pages and you buy a bmw!! 😂😏

Go for Porsche over Audi. Mrs had Mk2 V6 roadster before her 981S Boxster. It was a lovey car but the Porsche does show the Audi up and the Porsche residuals were of course far superior to the Audi. Longest she has kept a car that Boxster was

Clive,

I am toying with buying an X3 M40i as a replacement for my Macan S
Can I ask what sort of discount you have managed to achieve? I am getting the impression that BMW dealers are prepared to discount quite heavily to meet their sales targets.

Thanks
Clive

I'm into the final negotiation. I can get 17.7% pretty much guaranteed from my local dealer. If I go further afield I can get 19%. I've used carwow to get quotes and then present these to the local dealer.

These %ages include 2.5k from BMW FS. The plan is to take out PCP then pay it off immediately. Even the BMW salesman says this is good to do.

Yes that logic is what's on my mind with the Cayman. I'm somewhat embarrassed by the length of this thread given that I'm going BMW....thanks though to everyone.

And I thought it would have been Simon the wing commander asking for a new thread as he might be worried about his 99 pages being beaten!! 😂
