All,

I am finalising my order/deal on my 535d, I was obviously given the full talk about how popular this car is going to be and so on
Anyway can the lucky fellows out there who have already ordered and/or received their cars tell me what kind of deals they are getting on a custom ordered car in the UK? Some 5 are to be had with pretty hefty discounts but 535d...

Thanks

Thanks 535dse.
London dealers try to go with their party line of high demand, low supply, wait lists and so on. I am being offered the same 4% but was told it is really exceptional
I wonder if it is really the case or much better deals are to be found... I know you guys are a great source of information
I remember reading an article in Autocar few weeks back saying that dealers were very forthcoming on hefty discounts, the again I would assume that 530/535d is really their bread and butter so they prob don't want to give them away too much....

Hi I was offered 4% from Park Lane also.
My previous order was a 530d.I was given 6.4% with that.
You wont be dissapointed with the car.The engine is awesome.
Regards

535dse,
I hope no problems with the smoothness of autotransmission like we had with
530d at the initial stages before software updates?

535d is on allocation. Find a dealer who hasn't sold their share, and they might be more interested in discounts.

You didn't see me, right........ UK dealers have 15% to play with on these cars but you didn't hear that from me either

Hello Guest!
kept being told that 8% is their margin, no way it could be that tho, it just wouldn't add up on some of the deals you get on less desirable cars . It definitely has to be above 10%....
