Adding £25 per month from year 2 will deter some people, but the bigger impact will be the step resistance between £39,999 and, say, £46,000 or so. Hardly anyone is going to be buying cars in this price range (List Price of course) as the increase in monthly cost is going to be quite dramatic due to the effect on residuals for cars above £40,000. Imagine a 3yr PCP on a £41,000 car Vs a £39,000 car. In year 4 &5 you are adding a combined £610 to the running costs. Will be interesting to see how the pricing policies change to reflect this.

The main manufacturers (Rover was one at the time) introduced special editions for £19249 which were loaded with toys to appeal to the user and under-powered to keep costs down and appeal to transport managers. Let's hope we don't see a return to that sort of thing. |

If BMW are reading, please can they introduce a special edition 530i MSport with HK, rear camera and comfort seats for £39,999 and just squeeze the dealer margin ?

Nothing I can do about it, but my brand new 535d with 313hp is £145 per year, and my Supercharged Elise with 250hp, that is 11 years old, still costs me £295 per year, it is not necessarily fair, but it doesn't stop me owning it as it is such a small proportion of the overall cost of ownership. Although the 535d tax does amuse me somewhat, the irony
