I got my initial price from them, which my local dealer matched. I've heard they're very good - supply cars only from UK dealers. Their current PCP finance deal is from BMW Finance so should be sound. My dealer offered the same deal.

One or two characters from this forum have bought from them: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...al#post5481743.

Also check out the Honest John website: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk. He has recommended them in the past.

I've bought via them in the past but not a BMW. Back in november 2004 bought my Audi A4 S-line edition and saved £3.5k. Very easy and infact the easiest purchase ever!!!!!!!!

My brother in law purchased a Renault Grande Scenic from them last year. The car was sourced from a dealer in Guilford and it only cost £100 for it to be delivered to his home in Humberside. I know he paid cash and saved about £8K on the list price and options discounted. All in all, he said it was his easiest purchase ever.....

I've been looking at drive the deal a fair bit. They seem to have a good reputation. I would have used them for my current car, but I wanted to part ex my e60.

Oe think I have noticed is that their finance packages as quoted online are pretty weak. I've not tried contacting them direct to get a better deal though.

Since they effectively source a dealer discount for you and you pay the dealer it may be possible to negotiate finance directly with BMW or the dealer.

Alternatively try prestige car finance or lombard.
