Where would you put your 7k?

Hi,
Well I've sold our E60 520d and I'm on the lookout for a new car. My budget is up to £7800, however I would rather spend a little less and save some money for any required work.
However, I actually know very little about BMWs, and would really appreciate some input on what to go for, and perhaps some links to some cars and why I should consider it. I have always had Audi's, however after inheriting the 520d from my wife I immediately loved the drive and feedback through the steering. However the performance was somewhat lacking, and I spent every journey wishing it had a bit more go.
So I have been thinking about high mileage 530i, 530d or 535d models. Although would I be asking for trouble with over 100k - and what spec / options do I need? I've also been looking at 330d tourings, although worry it maybe a little small...
I do approximately 10-miles each day, so fuel isn't an issue, although I would rather a diesel due to running costs and residuals.
Thank you all!

I'm currently running a BMW 530I sport (n52) in a similar price bracket. Great car for the money with reasonable running cost. As mentioned by others, go for highest spec you can....and ideally msport.
How do you find the performance of the 3.0L engine? Enough go for such a big car?Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
