Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a BMW 5 series but wondering whether to buy a petrol or diesel? I don't daily drive long distances but we do travel long at least once a month for places. Please, could you give me some ideas which one to look at?

520d is flooded on streets with Uber drivers in London.
Big car under powered. If it must be a diesel the 5 series should be 3L diesel to make it feel like a luxury saloon.

Not sure how much the fuel bill would be to sift a 5 series via petrol 3L
