Should I buy a BMW 320d or a Mercedes-Benz E220?

At the age of late 60's it's time to move out of the mould and buy something 'different' (for me). So, should it be a BMW 320d or a Mercedes-Benz E220 or what? My budget is about £20,000.

I rate a Mercedes-Benz W204 C200CDI 6-speed manual Classic SE as the current model most likely to manage 500,000 miles in 10 years.
