Have you ever had your eye on a brand new BMW, but have been put off by the price tag? If so, getting a vehicle lease deal could be a great option for you.
Leasing a car is a fantastic way to drive a great vehicle for an affordable price. Instead of buying the car for an outright payment, you hire it on a long term basis and pay fixed monthly instalments over an agreed period of time. Then, once that period of time is up, you hand it back and have the option of getting an even newer model on a similar deal.
BMW are known the world over for their manufacturing of luxurious and reliable cars. However, luxury and reliability often come with a fairly hefty price tag that many cannot afford. But to broaden their market and make their cars more affordable, BMW has plenty of finance deals, including leasing options, available for people who want a luxury drive for a more affordable price.
We are going to take a look at some BMW leases, what they are, and where you can find them.

Best BMW lease deals
LeaseLoco offers great leasing deals on a huge range of BMW models. And it is always a good idea to check the leasing deals from BMW themselves.
When searching for lease deals it is important to know the size of the vehicle you want, what your overall monthly budget is, and the time period you want to lease for. With such a wide range of models available, you can find BMW leasing deals within the £250 per month range up to around £5,000 per month.
So let’s jump in and take a closer look at the details of car leasing and exactly what it is.
What is car leasing?
Car leasing, or personal contract hire, is a form of finance deal that essentially entails the long term hiring of a car. Leasing enables you to drive a new and luxurious car without having to pay the expensive costs of buying the vehicle outright or even paying the total cost of the car over a period of time.
Leased cars are usually available for a set period of time between one and five years. You pay an initial fee that is a small percentage of the car’s current value and then make monthly payments until the contract period is up. The monthly instalments you pay over the period do not total or exceed the overall cost of the car once you have completed the contract.
When the lease period is up, you give the car back to the dealer and you can then choose to update it to a newer model if you want to.
So leasing is not only cheaper than buying a car, but it also means that you do not have thousands of pounds invested in a depreciating asset. You don’t have to sell off the car for a fraction of what you bought it for, you simply give it back and have the option of getting a newer model.
