Beautiful car, love the colour. I saw a yellow one the other day when I was at the tyre fitters, didn't even know they were out and it looked stunning in the metal.

I really like the new 3 series saloons too, seen a few the same (which must be some special they've done) In what looks like Estoril blue with large multi spoke rims.

As I'm leasing mine I've taken the full maintenance package - tyres, servicing etc.
Added £30 per month to the total, and considering the run in service at 1200 miles is about £300, I think it's a no brainer.
I'll get through at least one set of tyres in 3 years plus brakes plus at least two services.

I believe most people who've bought one of these themselves have negotiated the service pack foc.

Nice looking thing is that.
Out if interest, whats it cost you a month to lease it ??

RS Grant

Zip, how do they regulate the replacement tyres? Since I assume you couldn't do numerous track events, shred them at will and appear at the dealership for some nice new replacements whenever you fancy it.


Cheers,

If that was directed at me - it could be seen by some on here as being ***** waving if I disclosed that info, so I'll do it via pm if that's ok?

Not sure, but I'm assuming the same as a company car.
In the past it was up to me to decide that the tyres needed changing - just ring Kwik Fit ( unfortunately not my choice) they come out and check they need replacing and they just replace them (1.8 mm)

As for track days - well no...
It's fair wear and tear, including punctures.

I wouldn't see it as ***** waving at all.

Just interested to know what it actually costs to rent one for three years.

Stunning m4! I pick mine up in a couple of days in the same colour, going to be gutted to say bye bye to my x5 but needs must and also it's worth every monthly payment who wants to be the riches man in the graveyard.

RS Grant

I'll keep an eye out for you Kev... although it'll be hard to miss in that colour!!


Cheers,

Saw one in this colour in Ashford this evening, looked very nice.

hodgy0_2

28k for three years

But looking at the fuel efficiency, amazing figures 194g/km and over 40mpg (extra urban)

That is pretty impressive

I'd have bought next doors sierra cosworth , for half that, and watch it rise in value

john banks

The deals of £500+VAT a few months ago for F10 M5 for a 6+23 look good in this context.

zip106

That's all very well, but you couldn't put 10k miles per year on a Cosworth AND watch it appreciate.
In fact, you couldn't put any miles on it at all for it to appreciate.

So not really a great comparison.

zip106

At the time of agreeing the M3 lease I could've had the M5 for about £50 pm less.
It's just far too big a car for the wife unfortunately.

I agree the M3 is expensive, and had it not been for a very generous car allowance we wouldn't have had it.
But I'm here for a good time, so **** it

Good on you. As i watch my family die around me I do wonder why people who can comfortably afford something won't live a bit more. No sense being the richest man in the graveyard.

stilover

Must say, I had a 24 hour test drive of a 428i late last year. In just lightly damp roads it couldn't get the power down. The ride felt vague, so did the steering and gearbox. Felt like a very large car too.

I'm sure BMW have made the M4 ride and handle completely different. But I'd hate to think what the traction is like with all that power?

OP & Zip. Both look nice cars though.

Congrats on the stunning car.
Are you a member on m3cutters by any chance?

I've recently sold the Scooby for an E92 M3, al is going very well.

RS Grant

I could have sworn I replied... I'm from north east fife, but can be found in Dundee/Arbroath area too. How about yourself??

Wasn't fussed on the M4 when they first came out. Saw one in the flesh yesterday and I think they look lovely. I parked my E92 M3 next to it and mine looked dated all of a sudden . I might go and have a test drive but not sure about the sound that I've heard on Youtube.
