Thanks for the great feedback some good information. The car would be private paid for company funds (opted out of car scheme)

Main reason for new is cant find a 330D with options I want in approved. I'm waiting for price and deal on a 325D right now if it comes out within budget I will see if a 330D is in my reach.

Problem is got to keep monthly payments down.

Interesting comments on the merc I test drive a brand new one at xmas as wifes B-class was for service, and it was impressive. Initially I thought it was a 6 cylinder until I checked certainly quiter and smoother than my 320D.

What tempts also is the mercs are above 200cc so better pence per mile 16p instead 13p

I think money will be the final factor though would be hard to say bye to bmw

It would be the new Merc Coupe so hopefully injector/pumps would be improved being based on the LCI equivalent saloon
