640D depreciation
Discussion
The current 6 series has taken an battering on re-sale depreciation.
A relatively well spec'd 640D M-sport with average miles can be picked up with a year or so warranty from mid £30k's which for a car with a list price over £70k is quite a hit. Not nice if you bought one new.
On the flip side, if you're in the used car market, that seems like an awful lot of car for that money.
Interested to hear BMW aficionado's opinion on whether the depreciation will tail off after having such a steep initial decline or keep on plummeting?

That was my thinking, must tail off now, its had a big hit already.
Got a bit of a slating for being dull to drive in the media, which probably helped put nails in the coffin of new sales.
I did note that nearly all of the test cars on the negative reviews at the four wheel steering, so I'm not sure if standard steering is an improvement on handling. I couldn't help feeling they were being overly negative, can't be that bad.
I'm quite tempted with one for a while as have some big journeys coming up, was thinking 6-12 months and pass on before it takes too much more of a hit.
The only thing that puts me off is the size, its freaking massive compared to my 3 series coupe.

Thanks doc261 and Dryce.
Very useful.
The only thing that puts me off is the size, I've never had much bigger than an M3 before. Everytimes I see one in a car park I notice it hanging over the while line like a range rover and living in London wonder if I need such a big motor.
As Dryce, sure i'll get used to it pretty quick.
