Am doing some (virtual) car shopping at the moment - will probably buy something but not in a rush. Its to be my daily - doesn't necessarily need to be practical in terms of carrying luggage of kids, but I'm not paying big motor tax anymore so that rules out a lot of options. Kind of means I'm looking towards something diesel as a result. 640d coupe and gran coupe have been of interest for a while - but I'm got a nagging feeling I'll find them as dull as dishwater, even though I've had them out a bit and quite like them.

Any alternatives people can think of? Needs to be cheap to tax - and relatively cheap to buy (<€25k)...and on a D plate
