How much further will they depreciate...BMW 6 Series.
Discussion
I can see that the 6 series have fallen quite a bit with 2004 645 going for about 9k. A little more for a decent one. The 630 are slightly more expensive but what are peoples thoughts on how low will they go?
What price will they settle down for a well maintained one or will they keep falling?

Because in general coupes keep their prices better through being more attractive than saloons. The original 6 series is always going to command more than a 5. That said the last 6 series was far less a looker and far more "marmite" so the market is going to be 50% less, I would guess.

This.Plus the 7's are probably the worst of all the BMW's in regards to depreciation.

I don't mind depreciation as long as I'm on the lowest part of the curve

Erm take a look at classic 6 Series and 8 Series prices, they did below £1000 and a few grand will buy you a nice one.What price will they settle down for a well maintained one or will they keep falling?
So the question is, are you meaning short, middle or long term prices? One things for certain, buy now and this time next year it'll be worth less than what you paid for it. But this is pretty much the norm for any high end car.

I'm licking my lips at a 6k bargain GT!
645Ci...yes please!
Petrol is a f
king rippoff. If I'm going to get assraped at the pump, I'd rather do it in luxury.
I like the styling. Not perfect but it's a great car for 8k
But this is nothing new. Jaguar XJ-S's were worth nothing (I bought mine for £700!), SL Mercs, other BMW's, Lexus/Toyota Soarer's.645Ci...yes please!

Newer cars will obviously take a few years to depreciate to such levels, and by the time they do they'll no longer be the "in fashion new cars". But they will still be as good as they were when launched.

I love the general sweeping statement, coming from someone, who has never owned a nice GT... Come on, admit it, the Jaguar... Was it nice? Was it really nice? Was it a one footer or a 4 footer? For £700, I can only guess...So the question is, are you meaning short, middle or long term prices?

Your few grand does not buy you a nice BMW or a XJS or a 928 for that matter. A few grand buys you a ticket to spend a few more grand in the futile hope that said chariot would be miraculously transmorfed into a nice one...

Until something non standard goes wrong 
A £70,000 car could have sky high bills for parts that aren't shared on the £15,000 rep version (if you bother to fix)
Also a 14 year old car may have a lot of worn bits, although to be a fair so could a 4 year old repmobile
These are only going to go down and further down in price. They are not rare, they are expensive to maintain and are thirsty, all of which leads to catastrophic depreciation. Unlike old GT cars & luxo barges they are too modern and complex for much DIY maintenance and repairs, so I think the values will go through the floor over the next few years.
