Is the BMW 520d EfficientDynamics just like the regular model?

Hello, I would like to know if the BMW 520d EfficientDynamics is much different to drive than the regular 520d please. I prefer manual transmission and 17-inch wheels are fine but I have read that they are different to drive and would like to know your advice thanks.

How can I charge an electric vehicle without a driveway?

How would I charge an electric car when I don't have a driveway ? I like the idea of having an electric car as my commute is approx 12 miles per day, but I don't have a driveway to charge it from. What are my options ?

Is it mad to buy a new car in October?

Hi lads,

Am I mad to be considering buying new in October?  I got a very good price on a new Volkswagen Golf Edition R, saving just over €1,000 than if I waited until the New Year. I've shopped around and this is the lowest cost to change I've got. Most important thing to me is the lowest price for the car and I'll be keeping it for a good few years so depreciation is not too much of a concern. This offer has tempted me but I'm in two minds. Buy now or wait?
