Following yesterday's Budget announcement about the government's scrappage
scheme, BMW UK has today confirmed that it will participate in the programme.
The government's £1,000 contribution will be matched by BMW to make a total
saving of £2,000 off a new BMW or MINI.
To see how the new scrappage incentive will affect new car buyers, the example
below outlines the financial savings that are possible. Now a customer will be
able to get behind the wheel of a new BMW 116i Sport for just £242 a month,
with zero deposit. With the government scrappage payment, the matching BMW
offer and an additional dealer contribution the total discount available on
this model equates to £3,260. The BMW 116i has class-leading economy and low
CO2 emissions and, like all other EfficientDynamic-equipped BMWs, makes
excellent financial sense too. A zero to 62mph time of 9.8 seconds and output
of 122hp results in a car that is also fun to drive.
Model / 40 monthly payments / On-the-road cash price / Customer deposit /
Government scrappage payment / BMW scrappage payment / Additional dealer
contribution
BMW 116i Sport 3-door / £242 / £17,220 / £0 / £1,000 / £1,000 / £1,260
Note: Above quote is based on a typical 7.8 per cent APR, the amount of credit
offered is £13,960, first monthly payment would be £416, optional final payment
would be £6,574 and the total amount payable £16,670. The contract mileage is
35,000 miles with excess mileage charged at 4.5p per mile.
BMW has a long established recycling network to ensure that scrapped cars are
handled responsibly. The Authorised Treatment Facilities, operated by
'Autogreen', will ensure that these vehicles will be treated and recycled
correctly. Full details on BMW's sustainability programme can be found at:
