Hello all,

I have the very difficult decision of purchasing my first bmw.

I currently own a ford ranger and it’s 💩25mpg

My dream daily driver is the 330D touring.

I do on average 100 miles a day commuting. Between 25-30k miles a year.

I’m a surveyor who carries equipment so I need a big boot which is why I’m considering the 5 series touring.

I also have a business so considering the 330e or 530e for tax purposes, although the 30mile electric range isn’t enough for my journeys so then I’d end up running on petrol 👎 I can charge at home but not at work. 👎 Also boot space is compromised in the 330e 👎

Correct me if I’m wrong but diesel is the way forward for me I think considering I need max mpg for daily long distance.

So.. can anyone educate me on fuel economy between the 2litre 320D & the 330D?

I understand the 330D is a better spec engine with more bhp etc but which is why I’d prefer it but what does it mean in terms on mpg & cost to fill with diesel?

Also, could anyone point out what the differences are between the 330D & 530D. To my eyes it looks like interior spec is better on the 3 series compared to the 5 series.

Has anyone drove both? If so which do they prefer?

Thanks guys 🫡
