Upgrade from ActiveHybrid 3 to 535D
Looking at upgrading my current '14 car (have listed spec below) to a 535D M Sport.
I'll be looking to spec with Pro Media, M Sport Plus pack and generally to ensure I have the same extras or more on the new car.. Can anyone offer advice on what kind of deal to look for on PCP.. I.e how much to put down / pay monthly... (car build cost is currently looking at £53k) (For context: dealer has said they can offer a £13k discount and I would like to put the minimum amount down to pay circa. £400-450 per month) Current ActiveHybrid 3 spec: ActiveHybrid3 M Sport - Alpine White / Coral Red Leather - Brushed Aluminium Trim / - High-gloss Black interior trim finisher Options: - Sports Auto transmission - M Sport Plus package: (19" M Star-spoke style 403M alloy wheels, Xenon Headlights, Sun Protection glass, Loudspeaker system - harman/kardon surround sound, - M Sport braking system, & Headlight wash) - Media package - BMW Professional (all usual extras with this) - Model designation deletion - Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming - Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory - Seat heating, front - Black panel display, full - BMW Ultimate Pack: (SMART Protection, Return to Invoice GAP, SupaGard Protection & Tyre & Key Protection) Any advice / tips on dealer discounts hugely appreciated!

Can't answer your question but what I can say is that the 535D is awesome. Had mine for a week (had a 530D and two 520D's before that). A stunning engine and car. So pleased with it!

When I had an E90 I only ever used the paddles but in the F10 I never use them. It's not that kind of car in my opinion. Likewise I don't like heated seats but I might well specify them for resale purposes. My car has all kinds of nonsense on it (electric boot, electric tow - hook etc) but I would recommend Adaptive Drive and Heads up Display. The HUD, in particular, is living in the proper future.

I know a lot of people say AD is expensive = yes it is; for a reason.

You'll have 3 base damper settings, Comfort+, Comfort and Sport/Sport+. The active roll bars (ARS) have 2 programs, which adapt automatically with the 'Chassis' mode settings. The softer program is active with Comfort+ and Comfort, the sportier roll control runs with Sport and Sport+.

It is a great car. I had the 530D before it (and 2 x 520D's before that....). The 530D was impressive enough but the 535D is a huge step up in performance. If you bang it into Sports mode - which I do rarely because Comfort is plenty fast enough - it can give a Porsche a run for its money and the growl from the engine is lovely in a Jeremy Clarkson way..... It can do 80mph and still sit at less that 1800 rpm...... Insurance and emissions are reasonable. They hold their value well since there are very few about and they are desirable. What's there not to like?

How would i know if i have VDC or AD? I have the comfort/comfort+/sport/sport+/ecopro options. The car definitely feels flatter around corners on sport compared to comfort+

Either use a VIN checker site to see the exact spec, and/or take a look under the rear of the car. Look to see if the ARB has a large cylindrical hydraulic unit (about 80mm diameter) in mid position, with hoses going off from it. If so, you've got AD.
