A mate had one (520d) last week as a loaner while his 3 was in the garage. It was smooth, pulled well on the motorway and was quiet. Really nice car.

From your shortlist I would take the BMW.

Not tried one yet. Will sniff one out.

BMW is more interesting to drive, but get the M-Sport version as the non-M-Sport is floppy and sluggish.

My personal choice would be the Merc, as I prefer Mercs, they are more comfortable, bigger inside, quieter, dealers are better and have more gadgets. The BMW will be more economical, I am getting 48mpg on my C220 Estate, where as my old 320d got 51MPG. You will arrive less stressed in a Merc.

Audi, yeah right, A6 pants.

I really liked the Volvo XC60 I drove recently, nice car. But obviously a very complicated seat adjuster that only a few can handle :laughing:

People will let you out of junctions in a Merc :+1:

It would be an offence to Alfas to turn up to a golfist establishment in one.

Different suspension and steering.

Well spotted - rougher ride and twitchier handling too, but no extra grunt. Bargain :ok_hand:

If you get the adaptive suspension (mandatory, IMO) then there the same.

Have you tried asking for more sexual intercourse?
