Hello,

I’m looking to PCH or PCP a new BMW M340i through a main UK dealer. Does anybody have any recommendations for contacts who can provide competitive rates?


Cheers
Phil

5.9% on 3 Series through BMW. Banks are 6%+ and finance companies are ridiculously high.

It’s the new car discount and build slots you need to chase.

I ordered through coast2coastcars - 10% discount and a 6 week delivery.

drop Tony a note. he works at a massive BME dealership but seems to have the best deals. I bought mine from him earlier this year. he smashed any deal I could get anywhere, including the likes of coach to coast cars

Tony Lewis <TRLdeals@outlook.com>

Second the recommendation for Tony Lewis, he was a pleasure to deal with when I bought mine last year.

[Pjhg]

Cheers guys, very helpful.

I’ll reach out and see what they both have to offer!

He’s a colleague of Tony but at a different branch of Berry BMW

Depends on your spec but expect to pay around £10k deposit and £600 a month

I second Tony or Charles(BMA) I have a G21 M340i arriving in a few weeks hopefully.

[buzzwauld]

Definitely recommend Tony Lewis, my G21 was fully speced and was quite a bit less than that. Although, my local dealer ended up matching the deal (eventually) but stayed with Tony in the end. The interest rate was better then though.

Morning Phil

PCP vs PCH are two very different ways to finance your car a BMW main agent wont get anywhere near the online quotes you can get for a PCH.

If you go down the PCH route id advise you to look at the contract hire comparison website leaseloco.com here you can choose your term/mileage and deposit amount and this will advise who is doing them for the best price. Also worth bearing in mind is all cars supplied via PCH will have the annual road tax included in the monthly payment figure but currently for a brand new M340i on 10k miles per year over 4 years with a £4800 deposit your looking at £800 per month this is for a car with no options. If you wish to add options to a PCH vehicle you can do but you pay for the cost of the option over the term plus interest.All cars ordered on a PCH are supplied brand new by BMW main agents in the uk

PCP will probably be cheaper per month but you will then have to figure in the road tax each year and a decent deposit otherwise you could have negative equity at the end of the agreement. Both products have pro's and Con's and everybody's circumstances are different so its what works best for you at that time.

I'm currently on my 6th car via Personal contract hire and for me it suits my circumstances so happy to give further advise if needed

Charles @ Berry quoted this morning…

M340i saloon - standard spec
£650ish
Just under £6,000 deposit
3 year contract
8k miles
PCH
No maintenance

My current 2022 pre lci M340i was ordered from Lloyds BMW in Newcastle and financed through Alphabet.

M340i saloon - with shadowline & visibility packs
£634pm
Just under £2,000 deposit
3 year contract
8k miles
PCH
With maintenance

So yes, prices have changed.

Tony from TRL also explained the new X3 was arriving in September which I knew about but also another updated LCI 3 series which I wasn’t aware of. I’ve asked him for any hints of further changes to the outgoing LCI.

[xenon]

£10k a year? Ouch

[225]

As much as I love mine no way I'd pay 6k up front and over 600 a month for a standard car or even an optioned one! I'd keep an eye for m340 m240 maybe some good i5 deals via the leasing sites.
What about 2nd hand pcp (non bmw) rates?

I agree, but it seems the days of cheap leasing premium German motors might be over

There is a few well optioned 2022 LCI cars in the used market for £40-43k that keep popping up. The X3’s are £10k more which is crazy.

They certainly are.

FYI info on upcoming models can be found in https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=901686:

For the G20 specifically:
07/24: Another refresh. I don't think BMW will call it "LCI2" but the changes will be noticeable. The interior will get new materials, trims, glass knobs, Iconic Glow kidneys will become available as an option, there will be new wheels. US and Korea will get B48 and B58 TÜ engines (on paper, there will be 7hp bumps for 320i and 330i, and 7hp loss for M340i).

3.6k up front then 600 a month
Various options for the deal with bigger deposit plus includes road tax.
Cheaper than a boggo m340
