535D M Sport Touring - Deal was to tempting
My Son was interested in a new 118i and asked if I would come along to help negotiate the deal. All sounded straight forward however; I got cornered by the salesman who started to tell me about the fantastic deals on 535ds
. Cut a long story short I have ordered one!
As with my 530, there is a limited budget so option ticking is limited but the discounts on offer meant I could get a few options and the Touring.. The choice of colours on the M Sport is just various shades of dreich and I didnt want carbon black again so just went for alpine white with the black exclusive leather. Spec as follows: Sport Auto Pro Media HUD Privacy Glass Multifunction Display Speed Limit Display Loud Speaker Advanced Folding Mirrors VDC Towbar UK 13pin wiring for above Service pack Looks like end of Nov for delivery. Note to self; must stay away from dealer for at least 3 years!! Last edited by Gordon4499; 10-11-2016 at 08:23 AM.. |

Interesting. Are you willing to tell us the discount you achieved? I'm in the market but had been focusing on the 530d but if the deals on 535ds are tempting.....

I am happy enough with the 530 however, on a PCP there was little between a 530 and a 535 so it was a bit of a no brainer. |

I'd agree; If there's only a few quid between the fantastic 530d and the AWESOME 535d, it's a complete no-brainer! Congrats on your new ride! |

Congratulations and a good spec.
Great cars, you'll love it. A classic. Call me boring but I am on my third 5 series touring, moving from 520D, 530D and now the 535D. The 535 is in a league of its own, impressive the other two were. I simply cannot find a better car with such good residual values. 25-28% is normal discount actually

There is a considerable difference between the 530D and the 535D and I am not saying that as a badge snob. And that's why BMW make a 535D....... The noise the engine makes and the acceleration is way above the 530D - and I was very impressed with my 530D too.
Over 10000 miles, mixture of Motorway, City and A/B roads - with the later two the most predominant, I have been getting about 38mpg. If you are in Sport Mode and kicking it down so it's like a rocket ship - which it is (0-60 in about 5.3s [for a two ton car!]) - you'll be lucky to get 20mpg. But you aren't going to do that often are you?

I recently got around 28% on my 5series with loads of extras. Is this a normal discount someone could get on say the G30 that comes in early next year?
I didn't think of the G30 when ordering as the deal was too good to refuse and on trying to get a similar price from other dealerships I was told to "bite their hand off" for the deal I was given so went straight back and ordered. This was for a car already in BMW storage (July build) Will the F10 depreciate really quick when the G30 arrives? The pics look stunning and are on the BMW website now Any thoughts?

High spec with Moonstone paint and Cashmere Merino Beige Leather. So "Individual" . I would doubt very much discount if any on the new 5 series next year till end of next year. Not sure how depreciation is going to effect this model but should not be too bad IMO. After all we got a large discount to start with. Mine arrives next week, it's at ELMS Bedford as we write having the 19" M Sport wheels painted Orbit Grey.

I am thinking of getting the wheels painted too. Only concern is if/when kerbed it will expose the inner silver. With factory made coloured alloys Im guessing if they kerb it will expose the same inner colour. Just a thought. (Some two way single lane tunnels in London are so badly designed that if you have a van or similar coming on the opposite side and you try and make some extra room you end up kerbing youre wheels and I have the misfortune of using these tunnels regularly )

At the end of the day I recon 3 years into the G30 will be a good time to buy, or just after the first facelift. Personally the main benefit is the F10 is 100kg heavier than the G30 and I tow a caravan (yes I know..) so weight reduction is not good for me. The G30 does look stunning and I am sure it will be a worthy replacement, although I am not convinced by some of the tech which is just pure gimmickry, the gesture thing is ridiculous IMO e.g. waving your hand in circles to turn up the volume - pretty sure the buttons on the steering wheel will work better! |
