I'm allergic to BMW after owning an absolute piece of shit E93 320D M-Sport that broke our hearts with unreliability and spendy issues.
That being said a 30/35d xDrive would possibly float my boat...
I've been ogling W211 E320 CDIs at the moment as a possibility (scratch that, road tax €1200 year on emissions)
@NurseHolliday road tax on private vehicles in Ireland is absolutely punitive so any estate (as opposed to an SUV which I could tax commercially) would have to be newer than 2008 when they changed the tax bands. 525tds would be €1080 a year to tax :(

Bleughhh... my Discovery has shat itself once again and been despatched to the diesel engineers on a loader.
If this is really the final straw what do I replace it with? Low budget (£5-10,000) but don't care how old it is.
30mpg
Diesel
Automatic
Estate or SUV/ pickup
Preference for 4wd/awd
Reasonably plush a bonus.
