New toy
Simply couldn't resist it and, at £34k off list, it was an offer I couldn't refuse:
F12 640i, Registered Sep '11, 1300 miles, 5 year service inclusive, showroom condition plus the following: 3AG Reversing Assist camera 323 Soft-close doors 4AS Dark Grey Poplar wood interior trim 4KS Contrast stitching 4ND Instrument panel with leather finish 488 Lumbar support. driver and front pass. 5AC High-beam Assistant 5DL Surround-view 5DP Park Assist 5GB BMW Tracking 524 Adaptive Headlights 6NF Telephone USB audio interface 601 TV function 610 Head-up Display 614 Internet 654 DAB digital radio 677 Loudspeaker system - BMW Professional 8TH Speed limit display ZGH Dynamic package 2H9 20" V-spoke style 356 alloy wheels 3MB Exterior trim. matt aluminium 456 Comfort seats. front Can't begin to understand why anyone would pay over £900 for a car TV and I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to try the Park Assist, but it's one hell of a lot of car for the money and, after 1k+ miles, I thoroughly delighted. The handling is superb - like a compliant version of my old E92 330d M Sport, but with none of the crashing. The steering, being electric, hasn't got quite the same degree of feedback, but it's a vast improvement on my 535d. And as for the sublime 6 cyl petrol - what an engine... |

Don't you mean registered Sep 12?
Beautiful car, Jon - hope you enjoy it.

It's a year old, so first registered Sep '11. However, with just 1300 miles on the clock and being in pristine condition, the only difference between this and a Sep 12 car is 1 year off the warranty and service pack - not too bad for a reduction of £34k. With all its toys the current list is £79; I got it for the equivalent of £45k - my Sep '10 F10 + £15k. |

Oh I just saw, £45k. That's some serious depreciation.
Do you think it is possible to get a similar deal on a slightly-used 640 Gran Coupe? Last edited by kaishang; 10-02-2012 at 07:49 AM.. |

Are those pictures of your actual car - they look like library shots. Not my choice of colour combo but looks very nice nether-the-less, and at the price, beggars can't be choosers. Amazing spec too - love gadgets.
So what engine is in this 4.0l straight-six?? Are there no v8's anymore?? note - just checked, the 4.0i is 3.0l '6' and the 5.0i is a 4.4l '8'.

I have to say they are a nice looking car, not overly keen on the combo here thouGh.
But a massive congrats anyhow as its a great deal. Can't understand why it has only done 1300 miles in 12 months.

Each to their own as far as colour's concerned, but as it happens, this is exactly what I would have gone for if configuring a new car. |

Correct - neither has the girlfriend. She knew I was travelling south to look at it, but, over the phone, I convinced her I'd changed my mind and decided to keep my F10. Asked her to help me get something out from the boot when I got back home - she was completely speechless when she saw it - that alone was worth £45k .

I remember the beige all over 335d that was for sale a while ago that had only covered about 2000 miles in 4 years and it was the same story. One of my elderly neighbours has a similarly coloured e90 that NEVER moves. |

Nice shots . Wasn't having a pop at the colour, it looks great, I'd have probably gone all boring with black or gun-metal . Enjoy it.
