In Review; BMW Z4 ROADSTER sDrive M40i 2dr Auto Car Leasing

by

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 […]

Thank you to our young-driver and new leasing customer from Reading for sending through photographs of their brand-new hot hatch – the VW Polo GTi.

What is the best executive company car option to lease? Normally this is a battle between the Audi A6, the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes E Class, as the German prestige brands have become a staple part of the UK’s automotive industry. In recent months, the BMW 530e and Mercedes E300e or Mercedes E300de […]

Should I lease a pre-reg car? Is this something I (or my business) should be concerned about?

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.

Summer is definitely on route in the UK (finally!!) – so what is the best convertible to lease in 2019? Of course budget will be a big factor for many customers, so getting the Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini may not be quite possible! Being more realistic, there are some great prestige (but affordable) cars on […]

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!

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 […]
