Anyone got any experience with them?
Been offered one cheap,

Lowered, New style 17" alloys,
Would like it to replace my Vectra V6 as I imagine it would be cheaper to run,
Not a lot of MOT on it though, whats the usual faults with them to look out for?

According to one magazine it said it was the first "performance" diesel. Pretty rare too.

with all e36's the bushes will probably need replacing depending on mileage as they are heavy cars, the front ball joints are weakish but you can replace them with e30 one's which are slightly beefier. don't know much about the diesel engines though.
rust > tailgate and rear arches nothing else really.
