quick note to let you UK guys and gals about my visit to the dealer (Scotthalls, Cambridge) this week.

I was asked how I was financing the car, I told them a cheque.

would you like to speak to a business manager about a loan? they asked

Why not... I replied

Business manager has offered me the WHOLE of the purchase price (minus £500 deposit) at 3.5% over 18 months

I don't know whether this is a local deal or a BMW UK deal. Others might want to check it out..
