I bought the cheapest six-cylinder BMW E60 in Scotland, and its inspection is tomorrow. This can only go well.

My E61 has its inspection on Friday. We’ll see...

Are you on one of the FB E60/61 UK groups?

You bought a Londonderry, Northern Irish BMW in Scotland.

So probably cheaper as it’s on Northern Irish plates.

I’m going to go with 300, just cause it seems too low but used cars seem to be a lot cheaper over in your part of the world.

£2100. You can get them even cheaper in England though.

Huh, I’ve always found cars cheaper in Scotland but then again I’m always looking at convertibles.

Its a personalised plate the previous owner put on. It was imported from Ireland. I could probably sell the plate for £200 or so.

I’ve found that BMW’s and Mercedes are cheaper in England. My theory is that because England has more wealthy area’s, England buys more new BMWs, meaning that more BMWs end up on the English used market, pushing prices down .

I don’t live in the UK, I currently live in Germany. With a huge difference in used car prices compared to the UK.

I hear it’s an inexpensive way to have a private plate as it has no age identifier.

I won’t go into all the ins and outs of when I briefly lived there and the situations that existed between the Northern Irish DVA and the British mainland DVLA. As told to me by my uncle over there at the time.

But it’s a great looking car, should be very solid and do you proud all the time you have it. It’s a car with quite ageless looks and presence. The current range don’t do it for me like the slightly older ones do.

Enjoy.

I knew you weren’t in the UK, for some reason I thought used cars there were also really cheap. Any idea why they’re so cheap in the UK?
