Lease BMW Cars

If you’re looking around to lease BMW cars, have a think about the new 2010 3 series:

The 335i, hitherto so effective with its twin-turbo in-line six has – shock – gone to a single turbo, Valvetronic and High Precision Direct injection equipped specification. So bar-room bragging rights might take a hit there. But, wait for it, the power and torque peaks remain the same as the old engine’s (no indication yet of whether these have moved up or down the rev range) and the fuel consumption drops by 8% (to 33.6mpg) with CO2 by more than 10%, so sneaking the Coupe into the UK’s VED Band J at 196g/km. We will wait to see whether the Valvetronic technology, which loses the conventional throttle butterfly, will have any impact on the 335i’s previously highly responsive nature.

NEW BMW X1 Great lease deals

Well the BMW X Range gets a new baby edition in the X1 (I am sure that was a rocket in the 60′’s)

And the amazing thing is that they are only putting a diesel engine in the new Baby X1! With a choice of 2 ltr or 2.3 Diesel powerplants and stop start technology as the norm these days.

Why an X1 well for this type of SUV it really comes alive, though, is in corners. The steering is loaded with feel and inspires you to explore the incredible grip available. The Body roll is kept in check by a firm suspension set-up, and for a car of this size, refinement at motorway speeds is excellent.

You could of course look at the Audi Q3 or even the Ford Kuga as this market gets more saturated.

Think of the 3 series touring only more practical and I suspect the big seller will be the rear wheel drive version, though the 4×4 version does provide great traction.

Like most BMW cars we expect a lot of BMW X1 leases to be done in the coming months

New BMW Z4

The latest BMW Z4 is going to be a compelling choice in the sports car sector and now it has a folding metal roof, new fuel efficient engines, all though the looks are still you either love it or hate bit like marmite!

Entry level is with the sDrive23i, a well-priced 202bhp 2.5-litre basic spec that can zip from zero to 62mph in 6.6 seconds. Then we have the naturally aspirated version of the 3.0-litre, denoted sDrive30i, which is capable of propelling you from 0-62mph in 5.8 seconds and has to be limited to a 155mph top speed. At the top of pile – the pick of the lot if you can afford to run it – is the sDrive35i, driven by a 304bhp 3.0-litre turbo powerplant. We’d always opt for the manual version. A slightly sluggish six-speed automatic gearbox is available on the 23i and 30i while a seven-speed dual clutch system can be had with the 35i.

Best new standard feature is a metal folding hard top which lowers or rises in twenty seconds and enhances the latest Z4’s refinement and with the usual BMW z4 options list as long as your arm then it’s wise to look at BMW z4 leasing

“So one rushed out and the bloody Beemer had gone – what a hoot!”

beatrice.jpg
Its easily done. You’re a royal princess, toodling along South Ken high street in the personalised Beemer your dad bought you for your 17th birthday, when you decide to pull over and pop into a nice boutique with your police protection officer. When you come out – what a bugger – somebody’s done a runner in it! What to do next? I know, get the idiot police protection man to radio for help. Sure enough a marked police car rushes out followed by another, unmarked, car bringing your equally royal sister so you can both dive into the nearest pub and have a giggle about it all.
Leaving the keys in the ignition could have happened to any of us and it’s unlikely Beatrice’s dad would have been too harsh with her. How he felt about the police protection man on the other hand…
The method of theft deployed on Princess Beatrice’s BMW was the second most popular. The top technique is still home burglary/key theft. Identity theft is surprisingly the third most popular method and involves using stolen or forged documents to obtain a duplicate key. Fourth most popular is taking a test drive whilst pretending to buy the car. Scariest is what is called the ‘lifestyle’ crime whereby criminals carry out surveillance on the car user to determine best time and method of theft.
Anyone want to lease a really nice executive car with a unique reg.?
