First 1M appears on AUC locator already - UK

[kmpowell]

Used 1M appearing already on AUC. This one specced to the hilt! £2k saving on list by the looks of it (I would double check but the configurator is currently down)...

Press car just back from a thrashing in Scotland?

Steve Soper decided he didn't like it?

Odds are ex demo, not available for a couple of months.

No navigation?? So price maybe near list??

It's listed in the 1 Series section, not the M Cars section.

It does have it, you can see it in the pictures. Hence the other related options such as telematics and online portal etc.

(through the power of cut & paste Kev ;-) ,,,)

Not sure I agree with that Kev - excluding Pro Nav (which isn't listed, but the car might well have, as there is an iDrive controller) my car has £1700 of options that are not listed on the spec sheet - and everything that is. So it's at most a £300 saving over list to be the car's 2nd keeper 2000 miles on (or presumably more if it's a demo car) and have a car that's been driving by multiple test-pilots. Ok if you're planning to only keep it till the warranty runs out I guess :-)

Isn't that selling for £4000 over new price?

Looks like someone is flipping for a quick profit.

It's actually £5k over new price but it does have £4k of options, so £1k mark up for a USED car!

Boy, what a lot of incorrect speculation, in both directions!

I've just used my invoice to work out what this car would have cost. The only thing I don't know the price of that this car has is the cd changer prep.

All the below in £.

1M base 38660
Adaptive Headlights 290
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics 545
BMW Assist 0
BMW Assist online portal 0
CD changer preparation ?
Comfort Access 470
DAB digital radio 320
Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory 910
Ext. mirrors - folding. auto dimming 245
High-beam Assistant 110
Metallic paint 515
Prof nav 2010

Basic cost: 44075 + cd changer prep

However, to take delivery of this as a new car, you'd also need:

Number plates 25
Delivery 700
1st reg fee 55
Fuel 51
RFL 580

Total extras: 1411

Grand total: £45486 + cd changer prep

So at £44,995 it is neither £2k off, not £5K worth of profiteering. However, for the sake of saving £500, I'd rather have a brand new one.

[as7920]

Considering i didn't get a calculator out, £500 off isn't a bad guess then!

And the fact they haven't updated the fields in the used car form yet changes what you're getting how? ;-)

And AS - yes, good guess

[as7920]

The only match is the Soper car. This was available yesterday.

Haha car is still the same but come on BMW keep up with website detail, never crossed my mind it would be listed under anything else other than an M car. After all it is pure M
