Maybe just a placeholder price, instead of POA.
If true, that's bonkers!

I can't believe anyone would seriously think that was an asking price.

£123,456 - of course not the real asking price.

the car will be undergoing preparation within the next few days = We'll put some shiny wet stuff on the tyres (original? heaven forbid) and clean the windows. Looks very nice, but you'd have to be mad to offer a 10th of that (wouldn't you?)

Indeed-that 309 GTI looks rather bloody wonderful. The AX GT even more so...

Fail.
It's an M4 GTS, and we all know the going price of those

That's not a fail it's still massively overpriced. 3 times the price of a standard M4, behave.

That's the cheapest one ive seen advertised...! Had a deposit down on one for two and a half years and still didn't get one...! Only 30 UK cars... but still £22K over list,but that will sell... The fastest ever factory production BMW car ever...!

In that case is an RS3/Golf R/Focus RS/A45 a massively overpriced A3/Golf/Focus/A Class?
Nope. It's a higher trim level (RS/R/RS/AMG) with the suitable peformance and speciality upgrades.
Interior of an M4.

Interior of an M4 GTS.


And that's just for starters.

M4 specs:
2 doors, 4 passengers, rear-wheel drive; 17/26 mpg city/hwy
3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine; 425 hp, 406 lb-ft; 6-speed manual transmission, top speed 155mph (limited)

GTS:

Max output 493 HP @ 6,250 RPM
Max torque 442 LB-FT @ 4,000–5,500 RPM
Transmission Seven-speed M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic

Acceleration 0–60 mph 3.7 seconds
Top speed 190mph


It's not "seriously overpriced" because it hasn't been overly inflated for no apparent reason by non main dealer traders or private sellers.

No I would agree it not seriously overpriced but in my view just overpriced. Those performance figures are not particularly impressive, not that they're really the point of the car but seeing as you quoted them that would be outpaced by a few cars that can be had for a fraction of the cost.

It's not even "overpriced" in the context of this thread though. If it were up for 300k for no apparent reason then it would be overpriced. smile

No idea what the final price will be, but it's way past logical now smile
