BMW G30 choices
Discussion
I Notice that G30 values are near £20k for some models, I was on the verge of buying a nearly new 530i Msport for £29k, there a couple of 2018 68 plates but with delivery mileage so brand new really.
Wasn’t looking at 540’s but 2017 SE are for sale at £24k, or M Sports about £30k, it’s between these two as I only do about 10k a year.
I’ve discounted the 530d even though some really good 530d SE around (£21k). I started looking at 530e’s but the electric range is just not enough, about 20 miles according to a dealer.
I’m in no rush to buy and if I’m honest it’s an impulse buy, the the G30 already seems to have dropped quite a lot in value, is it worth holding out a bit longer or not much further for them to drop as they seem close to 3 series prices.
How do current owners find the size of the thing, seems a big car?

I had an F10 which I changed for an XF, after testing the G30, which I found a bit uninspiring. They’re all much the same size and you soon get used to that. Wasn’t looking at 540’s but 2017 SE are for sale at £24k, or M Sports about £30k, it’s between these two as I only do about 10k a year.

On the road they all handle pretty well, the XF in particular not feeling it’s size at all. You just need to take a little extra care when parking but I’ve never found it an issue.
I doubt the used prices of this type of car will be firming up any time soon.
Thanks for the reply, I’m not finding anything else that I like at the moment, the current coup e class is quite nice but mainly just diesels available.
I think I’ll just wait, although the delivery mileage 530i seems a good deal at £29k, it’s still a 2018 car on. 68 reg, I’d assume it still will drop in value. As I’m not overly feeling the love for a G30 and concerned about the size I’ll probably wait and find one that won’t depreciate as much so I can off load it should I not get on with it. Even though loads of G30’s around no real discounts for cash buyers.

In terms of size, when I test drove one once I found it easier to place on the road than my E39. Wasn’t looking at 540’s but 2017 SE are for sale at £24k, or M Sports about £30k, it’s between these two as I only do about 10k a year.
