Local BMW's got 5 cars exactly the same, black 61 plate 3 series ltd ed saloons with between 500-3000 miles.

Im going to stick a deposit on something tomorrow, and wondered if i'll get much off one of these considering its old model now & they've got 5 the same!!

Think it just goes off what each car owes them/dealer mark up.

Possibly. Also worth waiting until end of month too, when they may need to do a deal to hit targets. I got lucky with my A4 this way.

No ideas on prices. But I love these.
Must have driven about 30 of them now autos and manuals, prefer the manual myself, right comfy cruiser.
All have been 320d's.
You going for diesel or petrol?

I think the coupe looks 20x better .I find these a bit oldie . There should be huge discount as it's old model. Nothing to lose in regards to hammering them on price. Most likely it's only a ltd edition to get rid of old stock. The depreciation will also be more due to it being an 'old' model

Getting a white one at the end of the week
318 performance edition, loaded with extras. Only 7 miles on the clock. Pre-reg'd so huge discount, dealership pays the deposit.

Yeah I prefer coupe as well but this suits my needs better.
I'll be handing it back in 3 years so depreciation doesnt matter.

Good deals on the coupes as well though.....

Mine was cheaper than that deal & i'm getting front parking sensors, heated seats, folding mirrors, and 5yr servicing thrown in.

Family waggon!! I actually really enjoyed the test drive, ideal for cruising around in.
Low monthly payments & nil deposit means plenty scope to upgrade the 2nd (less practical car) in time.

Just went for a petrol one, diesel one was going to be £45 more a month for a 6 month older car with a few thousand miles, ex demo. This ones brand new & I dont think i'd see a saving over 3yrs at the pumps.
