Whilst my car was in for repair I had this as a loan car:
BMW 1200d
It did 110 miles for £15.84 of diesel. Well impressed!! :D :D :D

It was indeed! Very positive steering and road holding, with good acceleration when needed, along with smooth, very quiet, travel. If I wanted a quality town car this would be on my list :y :y

Almost (please see my "Hectic 2 weeks and Insurance Success" thread), as I have only the white van man front bumper scuff to sort out that will be done by the van's hire company. ;) ;)

Nowhere near as economical as an Omega DTi then!

Pretty much what a 3.2 Auto on LPG returns, in fact.

Very good little cars actually, quick, handle lovely, drive nice, nice and quiet, but they're expensive. LZ how did you drive that thing? When I had one for a week or two it returned 52 MPG :o Very quick though Liz didn't you find and mine had the older engine to that :y

Thats appalling :o
Assuming you paid around £1.20 a liter thats just about 37mpg and 14p per mile.
I can crack 10p a mile on lpg, heck even on petrol I was only averaging 16p a mile.

It was an auto Tunnie, with me testing it's performance :D :D ;)
It is also very impressive compared to 20mpg average for the same journeys in my miggy!! ;)

I actually really like BMW's, if only it wasn't for the image problem.
driving a BMW says things about you that I'd really rather not have said about me !

I am immune to the hate brigade. I have owned a BMW of various models for over 10 years. I am really tempted to get another 530D Saloon ( current shape, although second hand) I am only doing 5000 miles a year, how can I justify it?? :'( :'(

A good car that you want can always be justified! :D :D :y
If you are doing only 5,000 miles a year it will mean your fuel bill is low, even with this car, and it stays in good nick 8-) 8-) 8-)
Many advantages I'd say ;)

Looks like a nice car! 120d is a pretty quick version too.
