Since you are keeping your beemer and didnt declare what your company car was,  one logical conclusion is that your new car is not a beemer and most likely a Rover (without  warranty)

I like the stylish sports model pug 307 and 206. Stylish and sleek and pretty decent drive too especially for town ride they can be quite comfortable rides with quick starts at traffic points.

who cares,if its company car i wouldnt,they deal with it,307 are better than the 206,thats the one that people do up,i wouldnt call that a chav car either,peug are in the low tax bracket as well so it be cheaper to have for a comapany car.

Could be worse, as said previously could be a Rover. lol

Nice going getting a company car.  I have to earn my stripes first before I can qualify for a company car but I'll opt out and take the cash equivalent and keep the E39 going or buy a bigger faster newer one!  (shh don't tell the Mrs!) Hmm E39 or a 1.6i Focus - difficult decission!

Can you not opt to take the cash or do you have to take the company car?

I'd love a company car to use on business instead of hammering/tearing the ar$e out of/ the E39 up and down from Inverness to Llandudno and all the dirt tracks that lead to the railway sites I visit.

Means you will be able to cherish your Bm even more, only use it at weekends and in good weather to keep it in tip top condition.

Snow, ice, skanky roads - use the company Pug!

How much have you been stung by your BMW insurance for having use of a company car!!

I have just received renewal of 695, 6000miles only for my 1990 E30 M3!! Last year, it was 555.

If you are being taxed for private use, then I would suggest you take it and reduce the mileage use on your BMW othewise it will start to eat away at your pocket.
