Me again - I've got to make a decision on my next company car. The shortlist is now a 530D M Sport Touring or a Q5 2.0Tdi S Line.
Both cars weigh the same, Q5 has 4WD, but we dont do muddy fields. We have 3 kids, space is similar in the back, but Q5 has less of a transmission tunnel. BMW has bigger boot and a much better engine - unfortunately the missus wont let me stretch to the 3.0Tdi Q5. BMW has self-levelling suspension. All other kit is pretty much the same.
I've towed for 6 years, so not overly worried about the 85% rule (I'm coming in at 91%).
Anybody towed with either of these cars that can share advice on what is a better tow car. I'll do about 25k solo and 2k towing.
Both are lovely cars and similarly priced on the leasing scheme when fully costed with fuel etc.
Any comments, much appreciated
