F1ngolf Neutral Newbie October 8, 2003 Share October 8, 2003 Hi, Received SMS yesterday that PML is offering 730iA @ $265k. Registration by 31 Dec 03. Spoken to SE and was told that this promotional price is for all booking in Oct and all the cars are already in Singapore. I cannot see the reason for PML to price 730iA @ $265k unless it is an over-stock or cashflow situation. Can anyone shed any light on the reason on this promotion ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear October 8, 2003 Share October 8, 2003 Hi! F1ngolf, welcome to MCF! maybe because new facelifted 7 series is coming out soon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator October 8, 2003 Share October 8, 2003 Just one of their promo to gain market share....I understand that there might be some quota to fulfil...and how else than by offering an attractive price. Have seen more and more on the road of late...It is a great car, performance wise, but for looks.....it takes some getting used to..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1ngolf Neutral Newbie October 8, 2003 Author Share October 8, 2003 Hi En0203, As my current car is approaching 5 years, I am seriously considering to upgrade to E240. This 730iA promotion gets me re-think as it seems to give better value than E240; though one has to consider the resale and the maintenance cost between a Merc and BMW. So, what do you think ?

F1ngolf, IMHO long term wise E240 is still better choice for it's relatively cheaper maintenance (cheaper in rd tax, insurance, spare parts) as compared to the 7 series but if $$ is not a concern to u, 7 series is definitely a better choice for its technology, space & comfort ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
