The LCI 535d is band E (182g/km), that's ?165 per year.

My dealer had no problem taxing my car for the right amount, so there's no reason why yours should! To be charitable, perhaps someone wasn't thinking and taxed it as a 540 or 550, or maybe they misread the form and taxed it as a 335? All are in the ?300 band.

Call the dealer and tell them to train their staff!

Thanks for your help, I have contacted my BMW dealer today and after checking they admit ?300 is a mistake, it should be ?165. The car isn't being delivered until 18th May so the invoice will reflect the correct amount.

You didn't push for extra discount following their incompetence??

When asked whether my car would fall into the new high rate tax band for big engined gas guzzlers, my reply was simple - "I certainly hope so - it would be so embarrassing if it didn't" !
