Mazda6 or BMW 320d?
Mazda6 2.2D or BMW 320d? Which of the two will be better as a fun-to-drive second hand 2010/2011 hatchback/saloon? The Mazda6 is cheaper to buy but would it be also cheaper to maintain and be more reliable? Would the BMW keep a higher residual value? Anything I should look out when going for a test drive?

How much is my BMW 520d worth?
Hi. I have a 2008 BMW 520d Business Edition with a leather interior and 75,000 miles on the clock in immaculate condition. I am looking at maybe trading it in for one-year old 320d saloon with similar specs for around €21,000 or €22,000. How much do you think that I could get as a trade-in?
Thanks very much for replying to those at the mercy of unscrupulous car sellers. As a rule how do we know how much a trade-in is worth?
