[Superspeed]

I need an everyday car with a usable back seat and reasonable luggage room. Both my alternatives satisfy this demand:

So should I buy
- a brand new fully equipped 2012 F20 120d or
- a second hand medium equipped 2011 F10 520d
given the price is equal?

My initial plan was a new 120d. But with all the options I want in a new car it is close to the price of a one year old 520d with a reasonable amount of options. I want the 8AT no matter which car.

Main differences (except for the size) that count are:
F10:
- higher quality of interior (although ok in the F20)
- probably better resale value of the already one year old F10
- a sleek and beautiful design
F20:
- more handy in urban traffic and parking spots
- a lot more sporty in the 184 hp d-version
- lower running costs and better mileage

I was so determined to buy a 2012 120d M-sport when it's available in march, but now I am not sure any more….
