Hi all, I currently own a 320D Efficient Dynamics 2010 4 door saloon and had it for over 2 years. Great car, reliable, very economical to run cheap tax. I have only 2 gripes with it though, it is !Removed! low suspension wise, you feel it most when going over bumps/humps when it grounds at the front end. Secondly, it is not very spacy, a person with average build struggels to sit comfortably at the back.
So in short, I have decided to buy 5 series (which is what I always wanted in the first place). I am looking at the older shape (until 2009/10). From what I hear is that auto gearbox is great on them infact better than manual. so wanted some thoughts/advice from owners as to which one is a better choice. Also, the 320D engine was very nippy when you put your foot down, with 5 series being heavier and bigger, is 2 litre Diesel still powerful enough. Also, how better is sport version than the basic 5 series, i.e. what are the other differences (apart from the ride etc.)
