By the sounds of it you want reliable wafting down the motorway.
Observation suggests that an e class merc can take a beating (minicabs etc) as you don't see many BMW hire cars.
My brother in-law has an A6 estate. Bought second hand, I think 2013 model. He covers plenty of miles and has had no issues. Think it's a TDI. Bit harsh though.

Plastic and tacky rules it out in any case.
I'm mainly interested in whether there is a significant difference in the likelihood of telephone number bills from a clean E350 or a similar age 3L petrol 5 series. An A6 could be another option. If the chances are roughly the same, I just need to decide if it is worth it, or I should just get a 2 year old Mondeo.
