Should I swap my BMW for a Yeti or Qashqai?

I have a 2008 BMW 520d Touring Auto with just 70k miles on it, which is in near perfect condition. I now really need a vehicle that has a higher seating position, making it easier to get in and out of (dodgy knees are the culprit I fear!). The space on offer in the BMW is probably more than I really need now. I'm thinking of a good spec used manual Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi or a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI. I really do not want to spend more than I can get for my BMW so 2009 or 2010 is probably as recent as I can go? Any thoughts on my choice and advice on asking price for the BMW?

Thanks.
