* - BMW 3 or MERC C Diesel - Ben 10

I've read the HJ write ups and looked on Which, but can I seek advice from the BR please from those that HAVE driven both models. I'm after one of these up to 2 years old. Can those that qualify please comment on which to go for in respect of reliability and cost to run etc. So no owners of older models need to comment please. It will be a genuinely expensive purchase, so no off thread banter would be much appreciated.So which diesel, BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class?

Why not buy a front wheel drive "Japanese" equivelent size. Better quality and handling.

How are the Japanese better? Very efficient but lacking in any character.
