Maybe the prices on the other site are generated on a scheduled basis, rather than in real time.

Incidentally, if you are looking for a cheap 535D M-Sport, I know of one going quite cheap - the owner is moving to Dubai.

Both now appear as €38,000... just over 15% reduction and still some scope to go lower in the new year I'd bet
