Thanks everyone for all the inputs. I appreciate that.
Now, what kind of car do yoy guys suggest/recommend? I have car allowance. I don't think I'll get X5. Maybe a wagon (I'm selling my 540it). I like the practicality of wagons. Do I need a smaller car for UK streets?

Good luck, it can be a great adventure.
For a vehicle, if you like a wagon, I would look at a 320d. Go to the BMW.co.uk site, and notice how the models all have the emissions listed in terms of what the company car tax rate is. It can vary significantly depending on model and engine. Make it part of the decision criteria. Also, check if there are deals set up with certain leasing companies. My company in the UK offered an allowance (so you could do your own thing) or a vehicle through a standard leasing company, at what was a pretty good rate. We had a huge list of cars to pick from, and they handled all the details, including delivering it to the office, maintaining it, etc.
