BMW 3 / 5 series OR Audi A4 / A6

HI there,

Two questions:
1) I'm after a great estate car, should I go with the Bmw 320d SE or the Audi A4 Avant?

2) On my company car allowance I could get a bmw 320d SE but for an extra £150 a month
I could get a bmw 5 series 520d SE, is this worth the upgrade?

similarly I could get the Audi A4 Avant but for £150 a month more I could get the A4 Avant?

Thanks so much!

The 5 Series is the current model about to be replaced in a few months by a new 5 Series, which is why the currnt model is at deep discounts of up to £10,000. It's a bigger car than the 3 Series, but consequently less economical. The 320dSE is more economical than the VAG 2.0TDI in the Audi A4. SE is best for ride quality.
