Always nice when our BMW supplier, BMW Park Lane (https://www.bmwparklane.com/), visit the team – particularly when they arrive in the updated BMW Z4. Having recently undergone a model change, the Z4 is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes SLC and the Audi TT, which it has probably failed to compete with historically. In truth, the smaller […]
In Review; BMW 218i M Sport 2dr Cabriolet [Nav] (Petrol/ Manual)
Our personal leasing customer from Barnsley (South Yorkshire) kindly sent our CarLease team pictures of their brand-new lease vehicle (the BMW 2 series cabrio) being delivered earlier this week. As an existing customer, they were already familiar with most of the process. So would the BMW Cabrio be your select car leasing option? Or would […]
In Review; BMW 620d M-Sport 5dr (Diesel/ Auto)
Thank you to our account director from Leaseplan, one of the select finance companies we work alongside, for visiting the team in their brand-new 6 Series from BMW. As CarLease UK are a broker, not a lender, we do not provide the finance directly to the customer. What happens in practice is that we introduce […]
In Review; BMW M4 Coupe 2dr DCT [Competition Pack] (Auto/ Petrol)
What is the ultimate “affordable” performance car to lease? By this we mean cars you can realistically afford on a monthly rental – no Ferraris, Lamborghinis or McLarens here! If you had between £500 and £750 per month to spend on the ultimate fast car, which would you choose? There are plenty of great options […]
In Review; BMW X1 sDrive 20i M-Sport 5dr Step-Auto (Auto/ Petrol)
What is the best SUV leasing deal? Good luck in qualifying that question! The UK automotive market is now swimming with great SUV options, in all makes/models/sizes/engines; actually choosing one is now almost impossible. Our Luton-based personal leasing customer wanted a more prestige SUV for circa £300 per month; this is a very common budget […]
In Review; BMW 320d xDrive M-Sport Step Auto Saloon (Auto/ Diesel)
Can I still lease a brand-new diesel car? Should I not be looking at alternative fuels like hybrid and PHEVs? Is it suitable for low or high-mileage driver? Following on from our exploration of all things varied in the world of automotive fuels, we will be coming back to discuss the diesel engine; the devil […]
In Review; 2019 BMW 530d M Sport 4 Door Saloon (Diesel/ Auto)
The BMW is the leading executive saloon! The executive saloon/estate category is absolutely stacked with great options, some of which cost only around the £300 per month mark. The competitiveness of this market has actually created a situation in the contract hire industry where a 5 series can be cheaper than a Ford or Vauxhall […]
In Review; BMW 320d xDrive M-Sport 4dr Step (Auto/ Diesel)
Is the latest BMW 3 series now the leading executive saloon? With stiff competition from the Audi A4, Mercedes C Class and Jaguar XE (which has also recently be updated), choosing a mid-size company car has never been more difficult. These are very much for the customer looking to spend between £250-£300 per month on […]
In Review; BMW 420d [190] Sport 2dr inc. Business Media (Auto/ Diesel)
Thank you to BMW Williams Liverpool for their recent visit to the CarLease UK team. As a credit broker, not a lender OR franchised-dealer, we sit very much in the middle of the arrangement with our customers and associated parties. While we operate an exclusive relationship with BMW Park Lane (London), some of our customers […]
In Review; BMW X3 Xdrive20d M Sport 5dr (Step Auto)
Thank you to our leading BMW supplier, BMW Park Lane, for organising our new company car – the BMW X3 SUV. As a credit broker, not a lender or supplier, we do not physically supply vehicles to our customers (as is often thought to be the case). In practice, we elect to utilise a specific […]

Thank you to our leading BMW supplier, BMW Park Lane for sending the new luxury SUV, which is the BWM X3, for our CarLease UK team to test and review. Without doubt, our newest offers on this car is one of the best deals to grab just before the Christmas period. As a credit broker, […]
In Review; BMW 330e M Sport 4 Door Step Auto (PHEV)
Thank you to our business leasing customer, from Norwich, for sending through pictures of their new fleet addition – the BMW 3 series PHEV. Like many company car users, the driver we spoke to was very cost-conscious about company car tax. As such they entered into a conversation with our sales team – should I […]
