Car advice (Audi/Merc/BMW)

Currently in the market for my second car, looking at these 3 atm.

I cover around 20,000 miles (32,000km) per year

BMW E90 320d facelift. 2010-11
Merc C220 AMG facelift 2011-13
Audi A6 C6 S-line 2.0 TDI 2010-11

Anyone know any common problems in these and what to check for before buying.

I've a budget of 7-9k ( slightly higher if I'm going for C220)

Why are you looking to buy an almost 10 year old car when you could get something a lot newer for the same bracket?

Anyway, my 2 cents, they are all going to have problems so I'd be looking for warranty as the main factor in getting anything. As a BWW driver I'd say the E90 by the way

What else in the same price bracket would you recommend ? Can't seem to find anything on par.

I currently drive a Focus and looking for an upgrade with a substantial power increase

Think outside the German box


That SAAB looks nice. Won't be easy to sell on but the SAAB I had a while was one of my favourite cars ever. Crazy powerful.

What about a Jaguar XF?

e90 is a bit ugly imo? Would the e92 suit or do you need 4 doors

Dunno if i'd be into an N47 from that era.
