Evening all.

Just about ready to replace an f30 328i saloon stolen last March. Must be petrol and automatic
Really enjoyed that car but family reasons now dictate an estate but I cannot bring myself to spend £16K+ on a 3 series estate which is nearly four years old.
Have seen a 10 reg C250 estate at a main dealer for £10.5K with all the requirements and 200bhp.
Any advice/comments regarding reliability/servicing costs/driving pleasure etc would be greatly appreciated.
I have driven BMWs since 2003 so am very wary about going over the to the dark side but all the comparable estates viewed on the MB used website seem much better value.

Have you thought about a Honda Accord Estate? I've had a E60 520d (LCi 2008) and currently on a 2005 SLK55. For family duties we have the 2.2 Diesel Accord Tourer and it is a brilliant car. Build and general quality as good as anything i've owned and exceptional value for money. Very well kitted out aswell, Maybe worth a look ?

Thanks for the suggestion. Saw one parked up this morning and liked the look.
Petrol essential though.
