E-bmw Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 So you have gone from definitely no, through maybe a test drive, to not now to speccing the car, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 0% finance offer and discounts are very hard to ignore. I can't commit until after we have moved house so I will have to wait for now.....

Mac Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have the DCT, and I'm surprising myself by thinking I should have gone for the manual. The DCT is good from a performance perspective, but I can't be the only person to think the 8 speed ZF box is a better experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now prefer DSG / Auto going forwards. Makes motorway mile-munching with adaptive cruise so much easier. I had a close look at a M3 Competition Pack yesterday in San Merino and it looks fab!

Mac Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 The ZF box in the M140 and my old 335 is astonishingly good. Thought it had convinced me to never, ever go back to a manual. DCT not so much - still a bit undecided. Saying that, holding the left paddle for your foot flat to the floor in Sport+ is brutal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Sytner Sheffield and Cotswold have confirmed that the order books are now closed. Anybody know what kind of discounts I can achieve by taking a stock car?

I'd be wanting at least 10% for a stock new M3/M4. A lot depends if they have any cars with the right options for you to be honest. Palm the dealers off against each other (but only if they are two different buying groups, ie: Sytner vs Inchcape) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BMW dealerships can take a deposit and hold off on the finance portion then fair enough, I could place a deposit down today on the right spec.
