Thanks for that. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deposit was required? The thought of a 730d for even less per month sounds awesome!

I've got a similar deal to the OP for an M Sport Convertible (White with black interior)

My car was originally due for delivery at the end of April only to be told that I would need to wait until July. Then last week was offered a unregistered stock car with a number of options free of charge if I took delovery before the end of March. Signed yesterday (to meet deal obligations) and car being picked up next week!

Will post pictures as soon as she arrives!

Lovely car OP.......The poor range annoys the hell out of me. 400 miles in the 650 is about as good as it gets, so 2, sometimes 3 fill ups per week.

When I first saw the E63 6 deries, I did not like it, but it has grown on me over time. The exterior of the new 6 series needs ro grow on me a little, but the interior looks superb.
40 MPG seems unreal for a car with this level of performance. The OP's car is one I would like to have in my gatage one day! yum

i think im the only person that prefers the back of the old one apposed to this one, it looks like the old one thats been squished down so its spread out a bit

still its lovely, alot nicer than a A5 Which i guess is a rival,

i would say the A5 rival would be the 3 series coupe, non?

I thought a rival would be the new SL or the Jaguar XK.

well the new 6 grand sport thing is a rival tto the A5 Sportback as such, and the A7 i guess

but its easy to get a A5 to this price bracket, so could be a rival

The A5 is absolutely not a rival! It is a small FWD coupé based on the A4 and starts at around £25k

The 6-series is based on the larger 5-series and starts at £60k (i.e. more than double)

Closest Audi would be an A7 but it doesn't really have any direct rivals as such.

The fact that it can be leased relatively cheaply proves that price is wrong though, surely?

How can this look horrid? I know taste is personal, but come on, it is a stunning looking car, everything it's predecessor wasn't.

Looks great, congrats. 19's dont really look any different to the 20's TBH.

Like the interior too. I was just worried about pale carpets.
