They're already undercutting the price of the Irish sold cars with the UK ones they're importing themselves, obviously this screws over those who bought through PCP. To make matters worse, they then went and cut 9% off all new car prices, furthermore screwing those on PCP's. APR on the PCP plans had jumped up too - mine was at 2.9% or so, refinancing was at 4.9%, and that's if you can get them to offer a PCP - any garage I spoke to is now heavily pushing traditional HP plans.

I think the writing is on the wall for PCP packages as a whole - BMW Finance will take the hit on the current plans - a lot of people have their full equity wiped out so the keys will be handed back and another PCP plan will be the very last thing they want. Central Bank will have to regulate the product sooner rather than later too.
