BMW will ask for the money because of the badge. I was considering the M3 estate because of my assistance dog and the fact it was a great car to drive, especially compared to other estates on scheme. Yet even the dealer was saying it was too pricey (£7999) to make it practical. Glad they took it off the scheme though as it was tempting.[/quote]
At one time the BMW badge was worth paying for, cant say the same nowadays. There is not as much of a divide between manufacturers nowadays as what there used to be. £3500 AP would get you a Skoda Superb Estate right now , which is a more acceptable number than £7999. Plus its probably just as much car as the BMW is.
