Your mob are a bit slow on the green thing Hertsman...

My lot were on 130g/km years ago, which is why I took the cash and did it myself.

Never looked back, its been cheaper than the company car cost me too. There's no BIK advantage unless you go full milk float.

They actually went into the <130g about three of years ago, just after selected the BMW so missed the cut. 

Have been tempted to go on my own, but been dallying with retirement (which is not a word actually like as sure be just as busy, just doing other things!) and did not want to be paying for a car likely then not use much and so the pay as you go works for me.

The BIK projected on this Terramar is £14 a month, a trip to Cafe Nero for two, and my allowance covers the lease, so with the full wrap of insurance, tyres, servicing etc, it works for me.

Did look at the full milk float, a Cupra Born Special Edition and the Hyundai Iconiq 5 N - S and just not compelling enough, and think we chose well with the Terramar, something really different as only ever driven mild to hot hatches.
