In Review; Luxury Coupe Lease BMW 2 Series

20 April 2017 by phil

As ever, our first thanks goes to our amazing personal car leasing customer, from Essex, for sending these lovely pictures of their brand new BMW 2 Series Coupe 218i M Sport 2dr [Nav] Manual which is based on the following configuration:

· Estoril Blue Metallic Paint
· Hexagon Cloth/Alcantara – Anthracite/Blue
· Aluminium Hexagon Interior Trim with Estoril Blue Finish
· 18″ Light Alloy Wheels – M Double Spoke Style 461M

Our customer, a young driver, wanted something which was sporty, well-stocked with specification but not too prohibitive on insurance costs (group 20E). One of the many difficulties facing young drivers is the cost of insurance; in some cases you will pay more in insurance than you pay for the car! Unfortunately, there are very few contract hire deals which include insurance and so it is very much down to the driver to shop around for the best deals.

Our team are always on hand to assist with insurance quotes by providing the car value and insurance group to you so that you can get an accurate quote. Some insurance companies offer enhancement schemes, such as on-board data collection boxes, to help you reduce premiums.

In terms of the car shown, the M Sport is very much the elite in the specification, sitting above the SE and Sport. The car shown offers some healthy bits including front sports seats, air conditioning, ambient lighting, Navigation, xenon headlights, Bluetooth, 18” alloys, rear parking distance control, M Sport suspension, DAB radio, body-coloured exterior, chrome exhaust pipe and LED lights. In terms of additional factory options – consider adding front parking sensors, Harmon/Kardon sound system and sun protection glass.

On the technical–side, the car shown has a P11d of £26,865.00 and CO2 of 130g/km which may be useful for the company car driver looking at this ilk of vehicle. The 1.5 litre, 3-cylinder, petrol engine will offer 50.4 combined MPG, 136ps and 0-62 times of 8.8 seconds. With political pressure seemingly wanting to end the diesel cars in the UK, petrol options like this car are becoming more popular.

So do BMW have the ideal small sports car with the 2 Series? Or would you consider the Audi TT or Mercedes SLC as an alternative? Definitely some tough considerations for your next lease car!
