Company car choice ...
 
Being as you are all decerning Ducati owners ....

I'm relocating back to the UK, and get a Company Car ( not interested in opting out for a variety of reasons)

The list is

BMW 525d SE Touring, leather
BMW 535i SE Touring, leather
BMW 525d Sport saloon
Audi Avant 3.0 TDI ... high co2 emissions, but some 40 bhp more than the BMws, and more torque

I've had 2 X3 20i
1 x A4 ... that I hated
1 X 330i Coupe ... which I loved, but christ, it was noisy on a motorway
1X 523i ... hit an armco at 85 mph, and lived. Great space and comfort ....

Which one would you suggest , and why?

Driven a few BMW's didn't like any of them. I opted out and I'm on my second new Multisrada in three years. The left over just about covers the running and servicing costs (36,000+ miles a year uk and abroad) OK lets be honest I don't do cars:barfy:

The Beemer 5 series has the small problem that people point and laugh at it openly, it's that ugly.... Possibly a decent car but there are limits as to what you should be seen in.

I forgot about the looks.:(
