...almost every exec had a company car as part of the overal salary package. If that hasn't changed, the 520d would be a prime choice...

By autumn 2007 around 40% of all BMW Group
new cars sales in Europe with
maximum CO2 emission of 140g / km.
And 100% of all Bmw's sold in USA will have more than 200g /km

And every company's lease policy is different, especially from country to country. I'm just glad they haven't totally strangled our company car scheme yet - its the best car in the world: free fuel, service, tyres, insurance... 
Would be interesting to see if the US would go for a 200ps 4cyl 523d model due to the stict laws over there in certain regions/cities regarding emissions etc. Or would that be too much of a leap from the petrol V8s and straight 6s?
