640d GC Discount

[CSK423]

Took a wander round my local BMW dealer the other day and had a poke about the 640d GC.

After a bit of googling online people are posting they have had discounts ranging from 11k to 20k off the list price.

BMW are running 0% finance on these at the moment. If my calcs are right a 69k car less 3.5k deposit and £20k discount is circa £550 a month over 4 years. based on a GFV of £19k (BMW Example lists this)

Seems like a good deal to me but only if you can get £20k off it.

Anyone have experience recently of heavily discounted GC's ??

[CSK423]

Anyone know what to expect APR wise on a ex demo ? (used) 10% ???

I'll need to make a call I think to the local dealer and ask regards the 0% and max level of contribution, then do a bit of shopping around.

[CSK423]

I've put the call out to 3 dealers, I'll see what they come back with.

[CSK423]

Best offer so far is £630 a month, £3.5k deposit. My calcs show a circa £15k discount from list.

I'm trying to get to £550, which is circa £4k over the term. Asked them to absorb, let's see what happens next.

I got £22k discount on a new Imola Red coupe with £3.5k deposit and 4 year PCP with £600 per month. Car due for delivery next month.

Good deals out there...

Can I ask who that was with ?

[CSK423]

Supposed best and final offer for a stock car to be registered before 15th Nov....

£17.5k discount.

I'll keep trying

[CSK423]

Basic car and 0%, Im reading others have achieved similar or better deals on cars with spec, generally showroom cars.

I think I'll call round another couple of dealers further a field.

[CSK423]

Waiting on a few dealers coming back, in the meantime one offered me a cancelled order 535d for 489 a month and that was before any squeeze.

[CSK423]

Still not finished trawling but the best offer is 599 a month, 4yrs, 3.5k deposit.

I imagine end of this month or even run up to xmas they'll look at just trying to move new stock on.

I'll hold out and see what comes up.

[CSK423]

I now have the option of 2 cars after a saturday shopping with both hitting budget.

Alpine white with black interior
or
carbon black with ivory interior

Anyone have experience of Ivory and how good or bad it wears ? Im swaying towards a dark interior as I think itll get very grubby.

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.

[CSK423]

Jon thanks for the pics, you've got me leaning towards the ivory now !

[CSK423]

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.

[CSK423]

I noticed the BMW website was down the past few days, got into it again today and had a look at the 6 series info but can't download the standard spec (error page) and the M Sport highlights alcantara as an option ?

Is this an update ahead of a 2015 model change ?????

Alcantara what? Headling has been an option since launch. I've not noticed it on seats or steering wheel though.

sorry, seats are listed as alcantara in msport spec along with a pic but no option to spec them within the configurator???

[CSK423]

Ok I give up googling BMW colours as I can't get an answer/true picture regards Glacier Silver.

Does this silver have a blue tint to it similar to Silverstone ? if not then what is the difference between glacier and titanium silver ?

[CSK423]

I spoke to the dealer earlier who described it as a grey silver opposed to bright, not quiet a half way house between silver and space grey but heading that way.

They have one in the showroom so popping in tomorrow for a look.

Anyone have thoughts or pics on non factory tints ? The car doesn't have factory privacy, I always think aftermarket tints don't look that great highlighting the dots round the edge and orange heated window lines.

[CSK423]

Looks like I have decided on white and by some sort of a "miracle" they seem to have found an alpine white car with sport plus pack that I wanted, funny that eh. It also has the piano black inlays (pricey at £490?) still no factory privacy though so I'll need to weigh that up.

Waiting on a finance quote for the car as the finance manager was not in at the weekend.

Let's see if they can hit my budget for a car with nearly £3k's worth of extra spec from the white one which was previously offered on budget.

Last deal on the table 640d GC with sport+, piano black trim, rear camera, black interior -
list £72,300
Offer £54,300 (circa 26% disc)

I couldn't get to £555 a month though with a £4.5k deposit. The best was a £5k deposit and £575.

Decided to leave it for the moment. This included trading in my S5 aswell.

Got a decision to make now as even looking at a lesser spec'd A7 sportback black edition this is £670 a month !

so was that 26% discount AND 0% finance?

Yes, still a good deal but was at the top end of my budget. I might re consider but for now its a no.
