Default E39 530md or Mondeo 2.2 ST tdci

What would you buy? (silver 51 plate bmw) or the (black 55 plate mondeo ST)

Both have similar miles , BOTH have leather,(mondeos are recaros) and both have wide screen sat nav Both are the same price.

The BMW of course, due to the better build quality and more refined engine.

Going from a Mondeo St to my 530d was like chalk and cheese...

The mondeo is a nice car but it just isnt in the same league for build quality, driving experience and all over enjoyment......
