G30 pricing

The extra cost in the latest GB price-list of the 530D over the 520D is pushing £8000.

What sort of crazy pricing is that - nearly £4000 per extra cylinder?

The OP is right. The launch and revised price lists for the G30 both show a £7,810 price difference between 520d and 530d (I compared SE RWD but should be valid for MSport and xdrive as well).

With the 530d you do get metallic paint and 1 inch larger wheels as standard, and sport rather than "normal" auto, so the net difference is still >£6k.

Twas ever thus though ? I remember in the F10, 535d was a further £5k more expensive than the 530d. Fortunately when I bought, there was a much bigger discount on the 535d.

My heart bleeds for you guys....in Ireland the difference between the respective MSports is near €15k ( and you can add another €15k if you want a 540i, whereas in the UK the petrol is only marginally more expensive than the bigger diesel ).

But here's the rub, I once read that the difference in manufacturing costs for tge extra two cylinders is only €500.... If that's tries, it's probably less now with the new generation of modular engines.

And over here at least there is a very small premium for the 330d versus the 320d.
