The seats not having lumbar on the BMW is odd (cheap?), but always seems to be a cost option for BMWs (at least on the 1 and 2 series). I could live without ACC and the HUD etc, and i'd have to deselect the exterior red details and add lumbar, but otherwise it's a well spec'd car which would suit me fine.

Hoping the lease deals will be on par for those currently available for the M135i/M235i.

Strangely, assuming it’s the same as the 135i although there’s no standard lumbar adjustability it has electric bolsters instead.

TBH, the Mk7 GTD/GTI was the only car I looked at back in 2014 that had lumbar support as standard.

Audi, BMW, you pay.

Was one of my must haves then, still is now. Prepared to pay rather than suffer.

Don't think you can delete the red accents. If you choose some of the colours, they don't have them.... blue for example.

I quite like them TBH.

In the configurator you can deselect the red trim, and it replaces it with gloss black in the preview image of the car (as the option is added/removed).

I think Lumbar support for £150 is the last thing you ask for to be thrown in just as you are about to agree the deal.
I doubt any salesman in his right mind would say no for that kind of money  :laugh:

I think you are looking at about 14% discounts on these btw.... including PCP deposit contrib.

Which is 3% more than VW look likely to offer and if you go with actual PCP, an interest rate almost half of that from VWFS.

Not got hard figures from either yet, but will share when I do.

It’ll be really interesting to see what figures you get back Fred. That bmw looks very tempting even though I love VW.

Opinions are divided over the looks of the new BMW 1 Series. There are a few near where I live and in darker colours they actually look pretty good. The one in our road is a dark metallic grey/silver and I like it.

I don't like that huge chrome grill!
