Hi all,

Im thinking of getting a new car; I was thinking either a BMW 3 series or Mercedes-Benz E Class.

Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated as I know nothing about cars!!!

Many thanks

    Erm, whats the difference (Really sorry, but as I said, I know nothing about cars!). Im driving a golf at the moment, which is a petrol engine. Ive driven diesel cars in the past, but cant really tell the difference.

    Jim; helpful advice would be appreciated please.

    Thank you!

    Try- http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/ for excellent reviews and info. I believe that the latest 320d will do over 1000 miles on a tank and will get over 70mpg.
    "The culmination of this is the remarkable 320d EfficientDynamics model that was launched in 2010. This 163bhp model drives as well as a standard 320d and yet has CO2 emissions of just 109g/km and can average 68.9mpg."
