Why lease a BMW 3 Series?
The BMW 3 Series is renowned for its impeccable performance, comfort, and style blend. From its inception in the 1970s to its latest refresh, the 3 Series continues to set the standard. Equipped with a 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, it delivers a precise and agile driving dynamic and includes a range of intelligent driver assist features.
Whether you’re a keen driver, or looking for a high-quality, practical family car, the BMW 3 Series offers something for everyone. This model stands out against competitors like Mercedes, Audi, and Alfa Romeo by boasting advanced safety features, a state-of-the-art infotainment system, a luxurious interior with premium materials, and superior handling and performance. With its unique appeal and comprehensive feature set, the BMW 3 Series delivers excellent driver appeal and is available in M Sport and M trim levels for both the Saloon and Estate models.
Why choose leasing?
Leasing a car like the BMW 3 Series provides an affordable, hassle-free way to drive a premium vehicle. With Personal Contract Hire (PCH), you pay an initial rental followed by fixed monthly payments over a set period, typically between two and five years. Once your contract ends, simply return the vehicle and upgrade to a new one, just like a mobile phone contract. This eliminates the need for large upfront costs or the hassle of selling a car in the future.
For businesses, car leasing offers the benefit of maintaining a fleet of up-to-date vehicles without the significant capital outlay. Business Contract Hire (BCH) works similarly to PCH, with an initial rental and fixed monthly payments.
