i dont trust anything bmw say nowadays. look out for the small-print.

basically looks like a leased deal where the car is still not yours after the end of your payment term. that GFV will come with pages and pages of conditions.

after the recent bmw dealerships behaviour, i would stay away from these sorts of deals.

oh, and welcome to the forums

1. Good choice of car
2. Good finance structure if you have a limited monthly budget to repay the car.
3. Residuals are helpful if you capped on your monthly consumable income or if you have a fixed car allowance. But be prepared to pay the remainder of the amount (R145,000) at the end of 48 months
4. I would go for it if i want a brand new car and if its my first brand new car purchase.

if you go with twinz's advice, stay away from supertech in durban. also bear in mind that you cant do high mileage in a leased car.

you can also check these 2 threads to find the better dealerships:

You will find a dealership. Have a look at the dealership ratings thread...i think its called dealership nightmares/feedback...?

Thx i did see those threads

Was just wondering if the salesmen dont get anything out of a deal like that. Would explain the lack of interest ive been getting from them.

Ill def mention the dealerships in the threads.

Here is my review of the 118. It was perfect in all respects. Hope you get a perfect example.

In my review above I predicted that the 116 "is going to be the choice of many". It would be interesting to know what the overall sales have been in the 1 series category todate.
