BMW Gran Tourer or 520d?
Is a 152 BMW 216 /218d grand tourer a better buy then a 520d for a family of 4 kids aged 6 & 9?
Our answer:
Hi John,
It's just the two kids? Then not necessarily so. If you were to go for a 520d Touring (that's the estate) that's a much nicer car to drive (more comfortable, more refined) than the Gran Tourer and plenty spacious enough for yourselves and two young ones.
