Car leasing and model variant options

Purpleee

Good morning, does anyone please know what 1. the most comprehensive car leasing comparison website/search engine would be? The ones I've found so far look a bit, for lack of a better word, suspect (partial perhaps) and 2. A comparison website showing/explaining the difference between model variants? I have a specific model car in mind that I would like to lease but I don't know the difference between the variants and therefore can't tell whether the price differences are necessary/worth it for me. Hope that makes sense and thank you in advance!

Look on the manufacturer's website for breakdowns of what each trim level/spec gives.

Done! Thank you, the manufacturer's website isn't as clear as I hoped but it'll do.. Don't think I'll go own the leasing option anymore, think I'll go with salary sacrifice instead, will save on a separate insurance payment, 9 month payment and road tax

Which versions of what car?

BMW X4, however the SS scheme don't seem to offer it as the emissions go over my employer's limit, so may have to settle for an X2

BMW's configurator is fairly clear on the differences between the three different trim levels.

The Sport model offers an athletic look with Satin Aluminium exterior trim and split dual chrome tailpipes. Interior highlights include Ambient lighting, Acoustic glazing, and High-gloss black interior trim

The M Sport model offers a sharpened appearance with M aerodynamic bodystyling, High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim and upgraded M light alloy wheels. Inside, the sporty feel is further enhanced by the leather upholstery and M-specific steering wheel.

Featuring High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim and 19" light alloy wheels, the M Sport X model has a sporty exterior flair. The Aluminium Rhombicle dark interior trim with highlight trim finisher in Pearl Chrome and M Sport X Frozen Grey contrast design elements ensure that the athletic look is continued inside.

Plus, of course, the downloadable brochure gives more detailed info, right down to the old-school table of what's standard, what's optional.

I was unsure in regards to the tiering of the models
I believe it's SE < Sport < M Sport < M Sport X ??
The SS website had the M Sport X cheaper than the M Sport, so I got confused

AdrianC

BMW UK don't list SE. Probably ex-stock cars of a now-discontinued spec.

I would suggest choosing the manufacturer and looking at their leasing options. Husband did that with Volvo and very happy with everything.

Hello all, any comprehensive impartial car leasing recommendations? Many thanks

That really is far too broad a question for anyone to meaningfully respond to, but maybe the following article will assist:

However, I thought you were going for the company salary sacrifice scheme, so won't that just mean you can narrow down to a small choice of options that match your requirements and budget?
