BMW 530d or 520d?

Hi,

Thinking of buying a 07/08 BMW 530d M Sport with 60,000 approx. miles. Have been given all negative reasons why I should not buy a 530d over a 520d. Too thirsty! Tax too high! Repairs very high! Whereas on blogs from UK guys are saying they would choose a 530d over a 520d anytime.

Any advice?

What's your opinion on the Citroen C5?

I am considering buying a 2010 Citroen C5 estate that comes with Bluetooth, satnav and cruise control at a price of€17k. "Friends" are saying buy an Avensis or Mondeo as they have a better resale value and are more reliable, but you do not get the same high spec as the C5 for €17k.
