Just got to Dubai and already jumping two footed into car decisions...!!

BMW have a deal on the 2014 M135i - AED 199k with 5 years service package. Cars are in stock and loaded with kit (all 5 door auto)

I'm strongly tempted to get a deposit down and sort out the admin in August when I'm back from a UK business trip. Admin such as bank letter, finance, UAE licence etc etc. the garage are ok with that but....

Aside from the fact the car is quite ugly...Is that a good deal? The Golf R is cheaper (150-190 depending on spec) but no offers or service package. It's also 2-3 months away.

I was hoping to go down the second hand route but the idea of paying the same for a 4-5 year old C63 plus the risk of expensive bills is not too attractive!

One of the regulars at the Evolve track events has one. It's ridiculously fast! - Not sure that helps much, but I'd go for one over a golf.

5 year service and warranty is easily worth 30k plus in this region..given the one dealership model, they are otherwise able to totally fleece you on parts and service
