I think id go the 520d auto, Id only really go manual for experience and connection with the car, but thats not why you buy a 520d either!

Havent owned anything of the sort though I'm afraid!

What are the prices and mileages of the cars you list

Also how many miles will you be driving and what type of driving, basically is auto important for your drive?

Having had an A6 for 3 years I’d say it’s perfectly suited to your requirements and has the nicest interior of the three listed.

For a daily driver definitely go for the auto.

I would agree with Lyons on this as well something more special about the F10 and it will have leather, nav and heated seats as standard but they were options on the F30.

I would avoid the 320d, they're the new 306/Bora/kitted mk5 golf.. especially with the m performance stuff slapped onto it.

Would be a6 for me all day.
Colour of cars would help the opinions here!

I just traded our yeti in for a 2015 520d Auto. It’s awesome.
It would be a6 or 5 series for me as long as the A6 doesn’t have one of those Multitronic CVT boxes
