Dnk Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) I don't really look to much at new car deals but is there more discounts available these days ? I see Sytner BMW in B'ham has gone, is this a sign of the times Just looked through Autotraders BMW deals and some big chunks of cash being taken off the RRP 8 series convertible with over £11k off 4 series 430D with £12k off and an I8 roadster with £22k off Edited November 7, 2019 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Have a look at carwow and drive the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Seen a few deals too.. brand new 19 plates with delivery miles for £39/40k.. same price as a 3 yr old! They get snapped up within a day or two though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I was looking at the Z4 M40i, seen some around £35k with very low miles, i assume these are demo cars but even so not so long ago they were £50k rrp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra2jze Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 BMW will always discount massively, part of the reason why BMW cars depreciate so badly and this too has a knock on affect with the used BMW market. I like BMW's but never known a company to knock so much off. Audi on the other hand whole their value so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 All german brands, bar certain Porsches, have a tendency to depreciate like rocks falling from a cliff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land Rover for one I find the germans depreciate the hardest, perhaps due to their strong retail prices, there are, of course, exceptions to this like Land Rover and McLaren.

Dnk Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Just been looking at the Z35iS M sport to get a more accurate idea on how they depreciate , new in 2016 £43500 There's one in the trader, 2016 one owner 21,000 miles £19500 !!!!

Dnk Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 £19k I don't think you'll be far off at that. Oh well i'm not prepared to blow that much so crossing the Z4 M40i of my list lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Dunk, you seem to be in a bit of a indecision loop!? Like a sort of performance/newness/value loop? Where you get two but not quite all three. Sounds like you can afford pretty much whatever but don't want to see the value diminish too much, you seem to have moved away from old alternatives (don't want the hassle? want the newness factor for a change? performance not quite there now?) that won't depreciate much SLK32, SC430, 650i etc I can understand the situation, I have more disposable these days but am almost more careful/indecisive than when I had next to nothing!? Buy this lovely thing........ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M6-5-0-V10-SMG-Convertible-Interlagos-Blue-Silverstone-Leather-71k-miles/254385506253?hash=item3b3a8ec7cd:g:pjgAAOSw9MRdn5-w ....and a rabbit's foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Always better to buy a BMW second hand as someone has already done the depreciation for you. It is second hand but then looks like it will crash again by the same amount or more in another 2-3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as that one's service history invoices prove) my inner accountant just won't even let me consider it by all accounts on pistonheads my 645 purchase has enough major borkage potential to contend with!

Scooter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Not sure, I think it's the same? I parked next to a burnt orange one this summer and then a little while later I saw it blat out of the inside of sandown race course and it was fruity! I think compared to say a ISF they are a complete liability, but perhaps with luck you could get a troubled free year out of one and just lose a few k on depreciation?

I've seen far too many V10s blow up from oil deprivation at high RPM to put me off them for life! Why not go for the V8 biturbo? They seem to be a lot more reliable, in comparison.
