Hi car people; I'm idly considering things which might replace my sensible / dull 2009 Passat.
Criteria are big, reliable, comfortable. In my semi old age I find it more tiring to drive all day (although only have to do this a couple of times a year, usually trips to Scotland or France) so looking to be cosseted a bit.
Neither of us commute by car so annual mileage is low; about 8k which is 50/50 round town and motorways.
Currently thinking of perhaps BM 535i or Merc E350. Would there be a significant difference in running costs? I'd look for a car under 5 years old and aim to keep it for at least 5 years.
