What is the best MPV available for under €8,000? It can be either a five-seater (C-Max) or the full seven-seater. My priorities are reliability and fuel economy.

Can you help me find a economical car for under €7,000?
I am looking for an economical used car for under €7,000. I do about 15,000 miles per year with a 40km round trip daily commute in city traffic so fuel economy is important - I am thinking diesel. I have two kids under seven so need space for those (although I have considered a roof box for them - imagine the peace!!!). In seriousness though safety is a factor - boot space not so important. Don't want to go over a 1.6-litre; what should I be looking at? Please help...

Is the BMW 3 Series a good buy?
I am thinking of buying a BMW 3 series 1.6, either 2006 or 2007. Love the car but have been a little put off by horror stories of repair bills being astronomical. Mileage on the 2006 is 80,000 miles. Mileage on the 2007 is 50,000. What would be a good price for both and is the BMW worth it (are the scare stories true?)?
Thanks a million.
