BMW 530D or a Volvo S80 2.5TDI/D5?

Hi there, I'm new to the forums!

I am currently looking at buying an exacutive car, here in the UK for a modification project called Concept-Cs1.

I have to choose between a Volvo S80 2.5TDi or D5 or a BMW 530D. My friend has the Volvo so I know what it's like. The BMW on the other hand is something I have not encountered...

Does anyone have any views to either car?

I chose diesel because of Torque, economy and speed. And the fact that they hold there value better and they can go on, mileage wise for a longer period of time than a petrol.

Any preferences? What to look out for? Problems? Bodykits? etc

Also, has anyone tried replacing the stereos in either cars??

Many thanks!

You don't want to try the A6 or Saab 9-5?

The saab 9-5 is a pretty direct competitor to the S80, just as comfortable- but more sporty. You have the option of a 3.0 V6 TDi if you want a diesel. Costs a little more than the S 80, though, but I don't think you will regret test driving it! :D
