Just having a casual browse of the PH classifieds in a quiet moment at work....notice that there are plenty of the new 6 series around with virtually no miles and a hefty discount from list price.

That's an £80k list price looking at the spec and it's under £60k with 168 miles on the clock! Plenty of other cars available too. I know £80k is the wrong price (though I read in Autocar it's possible to spend £98k on a 640d eek) and petrol engined 6 series are the proverbial ginger step child but even by BMW standards that's an absolute shocker !

Its a strange phenomena is BMW pricing....

I ntoiced what you are describing when ordering my new 7 series.....that weighed in at £74k, but on the order sheet I noticed that the actual price was £60k......I am leasing so it doesnt really make any difference to me, but it does show how inflated the RRP of these cars are, and how the RRP is often far from the actual selling price of the new car....

Ah have you got one of the stupidly cheap lease deals mentioned in t'other thread ? £450 a month or so ?

That's the wrong price as much as a 6 series is at £80k!

The new 6 has been launched in an increasingly bleak economic environment; when things get tough, expensive mass-produced cars always take a whopping hit – even before they leave the showroom.
