Next car opinions - Goodbye M6 Gran Coupe

[Shamrocker]

Afternoon All,

Moving away from my 2015 M6 Gran Coupe. Not practical now due to dog (Kiko the Staffy) and deteriorating roads in my Village.

My total budget is 30k all in

• BMW 530D MSport Touring '19/20
• E Class estate (not sure engine /spec) '19/20
• Porsche Cayenne '17
• Passat AllTrack

Thoughts / ideas / opinions ?

Cheers

I have driven both the E300 and 530D estates, and I preferred the 530D.

As much as the E300 was a good car, and brilliant on fuel for a 700 mile round-trip, it was like driving a giant sofa. Too comfortable and numb.

Considering what you’re coming from, would you consider an M540i touring? Lots of space for Kiko, and not a huge drop in power.

You can pick up models with 25/30k on the clock for £30k.
