After some advice please.
I'm changing jobs and the company car is going - coming back to BMW :-), also moving house so mileage will come from from circa 50k to 20k pa.
The commute will be down to 12 miles each way, with longer journeys at weekends/blasts down to south of France in summer/le mans, with the nicer weather coming it will be supplemented by the motorbike, although it's a bit of a faff getting all the gear on for such a short journey..
As the new house will be a money pit for a number of years (it's a project) i'm setting a budget of around 15k.
Reading various posts it appears the euro4/5 diesels have a host of underlying issues, and the latest 272bhp petrol is also not immune.
I have a feeling to going back to petrol, erring towards the earlier straight 6 or the V8 in E60/E61 as the E39 is a little cramped on headroom for me. Would like to see around late 20's/30 average or there abouts, feasible?
Any things to look out for?
