Hated my 1 series 118d loan car. It always felt it was going to go strIght on at corners. The only good thing was the mpg. Would never buy a car for that reason

M135i gone back to leae company now, and what a pleasangt experience it was. I have never leased a car before. It was delivered, driven for 19500 miles over 2 years and 10 days, then picked up by the klease company.

No need for service, oil, tyres, brakes, repairs. No faults, no recalls and absolutely no issues whatsoever. It has never seen a dealer.

Bye bye M135i.

A new 321bhp 6 cylinder motor for £215 a month and not off the road for one minute over two years....cant get much better really

Agreed. Mine went back 3 weeks ago, 19700 miles, one track day, two Ring trips, driven hard but often long journeys hence 31mpg average. No tyres here either remarkably.

I did service mine, was told I couldn't send it back needing one. Interesting if you get away with it.

Cracking cars, and as you say very cheap. Mine is now for sale at Car Giant at £21,995.

Lets presume it's the latter @ £215 X 6 = £1290 + VAT (I'm guessing ?) ... followed by 24 X £215 = £5160 + VAT ... £6450 + VAT, over 24 months...works out at around £269 + VAT per month.
Hmmm, not a bad deal, overall especially if you can claim all the VAT back
Anything new to replace it ?

bought my 120D outright in 2005 for 20K

currently on 230,ooo miles

so doing a quick comparison its cost me £20,000 divided by 132 months

£151 per month and falling

slight holy thread deviation I know but its late and I'm just in from a shitty M56 Scouseland drive.

I may consider a lease, its sounds hassle free.
