Last Saturday, the wife and I went on a test drive in the new BMW F10 5 Series diesel. Yes, it was very nice, but it was not great step up from the 2006 BMW 5-Series we are driving now. Do you agree?

Depends which one. The F10 530d I drove was a huge step forward, especially for a company car driver at just 160g/km CO2. Far better looking. And almost as good a drive as a Jaguar XF 3.0d 275. Test and video here:- www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/road-tests/bmw/bmw-f10-5...s
