As title.
Need to ask a q.

 

she is

 

I need to find out if there is some sort of special edition 320D out at the moment with leather interior. Trying to find details and spec but the website doesnt really list it.
Just wondering if Maria or another person knew?!

 

320si??? thats the only special ed i can think off

 

Helllloooooo yup indeed i do work for BMW!

As for the special editions.... yup there is a 320d Saloon or tourer special edition.

You get:

Leather
Metallic Paint(choice of 3 colours, graphite, silver or black )
Brushed aluminium trim
17" Alloys
M leather steering wheel and M gearshift

All that is Ł750 in addition to a standard SE.

Hope this helps!

 

Or for an extra Ł1000 on top of a standard M Sport, you can get the edition M sport which includes:

Leather
Metallic Paint
Business Nav
Buetooth
18" limited edition alloys

 

Well apparently thats what I am getting as a company motor. Not sure if its SE or ES?

works out Ł5 more TAX than my astra diesil.

Thanks for the answer

 

No worries!

Will probably be the SE!

Really nice car!

 

Can you get your motability salesmen to do me a 1 series BMW? I'm told I can't have one because of the insurance groups. Beat him up if you have to, I have to have one.

Benni.

 

insurance groups?

we have done loads of 1 series on motability!

 

Maria whats a D3? i saw one yesterday with D3 on the plate, looked rather nice!

Sarah

 

If you are under 25 you are limited to insurance group 8 and I am only 21.

 

DOH!

Sarah - The D3 is an ALpina edition 3 series!! they supe it up a little, and make it look a little prettier!

 

quite rightly imo - you may need a car to get about, but it doesn't have to be anything special does it? i wouldn't have minded being given a 1 series at the age of 21 to drive about in whilst i was busy studying at university

your circumstances may well be unfortunate, but it shouldn't entitle you to a jolly good free ride through life imo

sorry to go off topic

 

have to say it looked bloody gorgeous!

Lee said was i sure it wasnt an M3, did i have my specs on

 

The better the car, the more the deposit. So I'm not being given one as such, I am paying more for it. I do agree though to a certain extent.

 

how much is the deposit then, on the 1 series?

i dont see why you should be given a car just because you have an unfortunate condition.

 

I am not given a car as you put it and the prices vary. However, my current Ford Focus cost me a Ł150 deposit and tires, insurance, servicing etc is all in with the final cost. And allot of people don't see why I should be 'Given' one as you put it, but the goverment do and that's all that matters.

Motability dont 'give' the users a car, they simply help them get in to a car which they potentially couldnt due to a disability.

 

You're wasting your time. When ignorance and jealousy come together you are left with an impossibility. I like to agree with them, it’s much easier. ‘Tires are free so I go through them faster than I go through sox’. And so on…

Benni.

 

Yup shes a top salesgirl!!!

 

Erm, Maria, I don't quite get that last comment. Motability for most folks just means instead of receiving their benefit it goes towards a new car, most of which do not need any special modifications before they can use em.

I will grant you there are certain folks who do need their prospective vehicle altered, but these are are minority, all IMHO of course

 

arch - some motability users can have their benefit as well as help towards a new vehicle!

Most dont have to have their car altered in any way.

It is only when a disabled user buys a car VAT free that it has to have a permanent modification.

 

MARIA, my mates got an 06 plate CS M3 in blue, roughly 18000 miles on, and he's interested in the new M3, his car is totally mint, how much roughly do you think a dealer would give him as trade in against the new M3??

Just interested to know how much its worth trade in?

 

er... cant find it in the glasses book... gimmee a sec ill go check

 

With full BMW service history.... with everything up to date, and everything is immaculate..... and the bogger wheels, youd be looking at about Ł27k trade in.....

 

Yea full service history, totally standard, payed Ł37000 for it 6 months ago, from BMW dealership here in Devon, everything up to date. How much is the new M3?

 

It starts at 50k!

 

Personally do you prefer the older M3 or the newer one then?

I'll tell him to save a little more

 

Tis a tough one to be honest, i prefer the drive of the older one, but the grunt of the newer one! There are a couple of new shape ones floating around for less money!

You 'should' be able to pick a new shape one up for about 47k

 

Good to have the opinion of a pro. lol. Knowing him he'd want a top spec new one. Do they really justify the price?

 

I've seen one in the flesh before back in October and got a couple of quick shots of it. I must say it does look good this particular one cos its in white. But it doesnt scream M3 at you. I do like it though. And I was hoping they'd be a bit more rumbly low down but was pretty quiet just idling. Did get a hint of rumble when it started to move though.

 

You're in mine more than I am, I feel like I am disabled, and you get all the benefits from it. Seriously, you are one horrible fucking bastard. Bowel cancer, upon you!


Benni.

 

do you do a good deals on minis?

 

Gareth, i can put you in touch with someone who can!
