Perhaps not such a bad thing - when I had a loan G31 520d, my other half kept on about how huge it was. I didn't dare mention that this one was even bigger. I might have had to get it debadged and pretend it was a 5 Series
I'm still trying to stop myself jumping into a demo LCI 740i if my dealer gets one and prices it right I'll be doomed.

Have you seen the pricing suppert on launch 840i Gran Coupe?

7 series discount money already, about £5k in and £599 and it's got quite a lot as standard. Can be spec'd with a CF roof and de badged and looks like the mothership M8.....

Isn’t it 310+135?
Just the usual Autotrader dreaming - in reality will probably keep the 335d for quite some time yet.

Still a bit pricey but scratches the V12 bug before everything becomes an EV.
Imagine a remap and an MPE on that beast

I could normally but I think a big car should be in a stealthier colour...last one I saw was tanzanite, looked stunning...

Don’t understand why they don’t offer it in non long wheelbase form either...

Its an extra £310 over what you would normally pay - or £25 a month or thereabouts if you pay monthly.
