I agree that the Jag is a close contender, but I don't think it handles as well through the bends; however, it certainly is an extremely comfortable motorway cruiser. Only trouble for me is all the trashy bling inside; I think you'd soon tire of all that shiny metal and neon-blue lighting and that's before you find that the sat-nav screen is mounted too low in the dash to make it safely usable at speed.
The BMW's cabin is a classic study in understated elegance and that's one of the main reasons why I've ordered the 535d M Sport. Ok, it doesn't sound as good as the petrol version, but it goes just as well and drinks a hell of a lot less fuel.
