Interested to hear your views on low emissions and whether it influences your choice of engine next time you buy a 5er.

If I replace it (530D SE Auto Touring) I will probably either get a 535D or potentially look for a 550i or M5 (depending on how much they are going for at the time and whether I can afford to run one).
I don't do that many miles a year but the majority are on business so I'm reimbursed. Therefore, I don't really care about fuel economy as it won't save me that much money. I'd rather have a thirstier car that's more fun!

In Scandinavia they will probably tax us into downsizing with all that climate hysteria going on... 
Think I will buy the same engine size as I have now or, if I can afford it, upgrade a bit.
