Ouch. Serious depreciation.

Liking the look of these in 6 months when the 640d goes back in the summer....

Quick spec on BMW.co.uk suggests this was about £103,000 list with competition pack which is nuts, but they are heading nicely in the right direction! £30k lost in about 2 tanks of fuel!!



There cars with a few thousand miles on for down as low as 55k too.

You're certifiable if you are.

I estimate that my 640d MCoupe (2012, done 22k) is worth about £40k tops. I lease it, but had I bought it, I'd have lost £30k (less with some discount of course, but even so, still far more than my 2.5 year lease is costing).

Not as bad as the M, but still horrible!

What mpg are you getting from the 640?

I havent reset it since i bought it. When first got it I'd stick it in eco mode, but that novelty quickly become boring!

With no effort, mixed driving and "enjoying" the car, it has a 21,000 mile reading of 39.2mpg.

I checked the computer by measuring fill to fill a few times and it was pretty accurate.

I think for a relatively large GT car, over 300bhp, that's pretty bloody good.

Real word if you potter along at 65 it will do 50mpg+. Pretty amazing I think.

That is staggeringly good! BMW do seem to have an amazing ability to extract decent economy from a large engines of late. I would adore a car that offers the drive of my E39 with half the running costs, perhaps a 640i GC might be on the list (in the far future).

Just to confirm, my car is the D not the i!

... I definitely wouldn't mind adding an M5 at some point if the current ones continue to fall in price at the rate they have been.

A far better used proposition than the E60 m5

Nice saving.
