It will still be a good car with the manual, but may take a bit of getting used to. But if you haven't tried the 520d auto, you won't be comparing.

Thanks

There are 2 BMWs on the list. A 520D SE or a 318D SE Touring (both manuals). If they had offered either with an auto box I would really not have a problem. Sure it's no A7 but not much is. Lets be honest though, this really is a 1st world problem. How many people would even think twice if their employer offered them a 520D with fuel card out of the blue.

My only concern is that I will be doing serious miles in this thing so just want to be sure the manual isn't a total pig of a car with wonky pedals and a bad back waiting to happen

BTW

Long time no speak
