Best executive car for under £5k?

I am looking to buys an executive sedan (3 Series, C-Class or A4) for under £5000. My annual mileage is around 10,000 miles and I'm looking to possibly get an automatic.

How about a Lexus IS 250? It's likely to be more reliable than the alternatives you've mentioned. The 2.5-litre petrol is a bit thirsty but extremely dependable and would suit your mileage well. The six-speed automatic gearbox is very good, too.
