Cooper teesside had 2 640d GC a week ago, both 14 plate both for 47k, both had stickers saying they listed at 74k and therefore they were 27k off (but slightly used)
It would depend on spec to say whether this is a deal or not. As previously mentioned if you need finance, a new car is likley to bring lower costs plus full warranty etc.My new car (due December) listed at £70,805 and I got it for £48,405.

I've the ivory nappa - coming up to 50k miles and still looks good but then I don't have kids. I changed the mats for black ones.
How does the bottom of the doors and carpets particularly round the transmission tunnel look ? Ive agreed with the dealer on black mats but think the carpet round about it might still cop it.Also got Ivory and was very apprehensive having always played safe with black. Its held up surprisingly well. Jons pictures are very representative of wear from my experience (although I've only done 14k). The seats etc hold up very well with just the occasional wipe, the carpet doesn't cop much if any dirt. That sill is also the only place I get some scuff marks out of all the ivory trim/carpets.
Like Jon I had to get some black mats. I still use the standard ivory ones in summer, or when I have the black ones drying from shampoo/clean.The Ivory mats perform a bit better with some scotch guard "repellent shampoo", but in all honesty I only persist with them as they look very good :/ (one very wet day and they start screaming "clean me").
Which brings me neatly to the main reason I broke the black interior habit. The Ivory with the contrasting black leather dash and centre console looked so much better. Its the kind of thing you only normally see when specifying some sort of individual/premium interior options, but with the GC you get it standard. Unless you go for black, in which case everything is black :/
Having said all that we're due our first child in a few months so perhaps I'll regret going ivory :/

Wow thats a amazing deal, I assume that is not with the 0% finance or a new order? My new car (due December) listed at £70,805 and I got it for £48,405.

I still can't settle on colours though.
That was my problem....White - been there and done that for the last 4 cars
Carbon - ordered and cancelled as popular on the 6 but too easy to get swirls
Grey - too boring for me but suits the GC
Blue - not a great metallic blue, San Marino and Tanzanite are way better
Brown - urgggghhhh
Silver - don't like silver cars too boring
So for me it was either individual or Imola Red.
I've gone Imola Red as 1) it's not that common and is a great red and 2) didn't want to pay for individual colours.
Fingers crossed I like it as I've not had a red car and love white!!

I have tabled the offers I have with other dealers south of the border (I'm in the Glasgow area) and they have told me to "bite their hand off" as they can't get anywhere near them.
I still can't settle on colours though.
I am in Glasgow too and this is the reason why my last 10 cars have all been from down south. 5 private and 5 dealer purchased cars. I still can't settle on colours though.
Generally the spec's I want are more attainable down in England and secondly the prices are better. Up here they seem to want to take advatange if they have even one extra option on the dam car.
I remember last year I went to Mercedes Glasgow to look at a white C250 Sport with a Pano roof and they wouldn't budge 200 pounds off a 26k price because it was "popular white with Pano Roof" apparently I would never get one so cheap.
Went down south for a better spec car, white, pano roof for 22.5k. Ah well.
Funny thing is if you ever went to trade in such a car I am sure they would say well its a no cost option and so last season, knock off 5k; we will give you £5.50

Space Grey on the 640d is lovely, shows of it's lines better than white or black .
Agree, was the best colour I saw on the GC. Unfortunately only found one car with that colour and it wasn't for suitable spec. Ended up with black which was my second favourite, don't like white at all and done silver a few times. One advantage of black if you have the sun roof is it blends in well, whereas on other colours it looks a bit odd with half the roof black :/Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
