What do you recommend for a long daily motorway commute?

I have a 100 mile daily commute of mostly quiet motorway and I’m looking to replace my company Mitsubishi Outlander with a diesel estate that is capacious (I’m 6-feet 4-inches), economical (mpg 60+ extra-urban), under £30,000 RRP with a BiK percentage charge under 18/19 per cent, has good residuals with high mileage and can tow 1.5 tonnes if required. Am I expecting too much?

The Mazda 6 2.2 SE-L Nav 150PS SW or BMW 320dED 163PS Touring. There's about a £5000 price difference plus the cost of Nav for the BMW.
