The performance numbers on the 520d and the E220 CDI are very close, except the BMW gets much better fuel consumption. However the Benz does have the larger fuel tank which in this situation counts for a lot. I'm not sure which is more comfortable, but I'm sure the 5 is much more fun to drive.
If I were going to pick a Citroen, C6 2.2 HDI. |
