Lease/PCP

Morning,
my BMW is not ULEZ compliant so I will be selling it and then looking for a new car. Thinking of leasing/PCP rather than buying outright which I have done in the past.
if there a ‘go to’ leasing company who are generally considered reputable and have good offers, or is it a case of trawling though google and adverts? 
Cheers

    I presume your BMW is pre-Euro6 diesel, so at least six years old?

    You know that ULEZ-compliant includes all petrols Euro4 or newer, so about 2004-on?
    ULEZ is not a reason to be pushed into a brand-spankin', if you've previously been quite happy with owning a car that's not.

    Understood. Yes car is just over 6 years old. 
    Not decided whether to go new or second hand, just exploring options.

    And it's definitely Euro5 emissions, not Euro6? Many manufacturers were producing Euro6 cars a whiles before the legal deadline, which was Sept 2014 for new type approvals, Sept 2015 for existing models.

    As sure as I can be. ULEZ website checker has it as chargeable and looking though a number of databases the model is coming up as Euro 5 at 0.10 mg/km (I think this is good for a euro 5 but still slightly above euro 6...but far far from an expert)

    Here is one to start, but in the end just trawling the web, beware of some who promise you delivery and then don't.
