Flicked at it in the shops and it read ok. Strong comment on residuals viz a viz 535d but the BMW has big discounts and the Ghibli does not currently so it was not a fair price comparison.
The BMW also has way more power. Indeed the Ghibli performance figures were disappointing. 0-100mph was over 17 seconds which reminds us that this car is very different to the 3200, 4200, GS, QPV, GranTurismo that we are all used to. Even the 4.2 GranTurismo can do 0-100 in 12 point something. Food for thought - a nice daily driver with the diesel engine but not a fast car unlike the new 435d which has amazing performance.
Spoke to a dealer who mentioned that Ghibli sales are almost exclusively diesel. In fact you can now order the QP with that engine.
