Default Company Car Swap - Should I do it?

Evening all

One of the lads is leaving our place this fri and my boss has offered me to swap my company car for his if I want to, but I'm in 2 minds.

My current car is a VW Passat CC Bluemotion in full GT spec - it's got everything you could think of and more and is frankly a fucking lovely motor, best I've had. It's also brilliant on fuel, averaging over 50mpg combined and never less than 60 on the motorway - best I've seen was 70mpg from Brum to Blackpool at a steady 70.

The car I've been offered if I want is a BMW 318d in essentially pikey spec - it has 18" alloys and leather but very little beyond that.

Both are 2012 on 12 plates and are company cars so it won't cost me a penny (infact BMW might be cheaper as less tax).

To be honest I love my car and all the kit on it, but the chance to drive a 3 series is proving to be a bit of a draw - despite the fact I have always thought people driving poverty spec beeemers are posing cunts who should have bought the top of the range vw/ford/vauxhall etc - especially if the BMW is in white which this one is!

My car is 170bhp and the beemer 143 so not a huge difference but a difference nonetheless.

Head says keep the VW, just can't help thinking it would be nice to drive round in a beemer someone else is paying for....
