Our total price is around $62k drive away. That's for an AW auto with front/rear PDC, sunroof, M Sport pack, comfort access, elec seats, bi-xenon's, Bus Nav, extended connectivity, HK with DAB+, lumbar support, interior/exterior anti dazzle mirrors and free tinting. Not sure how this value compares to everyone who has bought a 125 but I thought it was pretty good but then I have nothing to compare it with and I don't work for an organisation which attracts the corporate program.

The other thing is that with the new packs, there is stuff included that I don't want - like seat heaters, active headlights, rear camera and parking assistant - sure the new packs offer better value for money but I don't need the extra stuff, but maybe other people's preferred choice - either way, very happy with with the options I chose.

Anyway, it was an interesting exercise to compare prices but I'm happy with what I'm getting and should be picking it up around early Aug.

Cheers
For some comparison. I ordered a 125i with the following specs for 60k.

M-Sport, Auto, Sunroof, Xenon, HK Audio, Business Nav, Front/Rear Park Sense, Park Assist, Alarm, Metallic paint, Extended Bluetooth, Smartphone interface.

Which seems to compare pretty well with the deal you got.
