Should I buy a BMW 520d SE?

I am considering buying a 2011 BMW 520d SE. Should I consider anything else?

Hi Dave.

You could consider the Mercedes-Benz E 200 CDI, but the BMW 520d SE is so good I wouldn't really consider anything else. It is a truly brilliant car so there isn't much to touch it at the moment. For the money you could also consider the BMW X3, which is also very good if you liked the idea of an SUV, but I'd have the 520d. 

I hope this helps
