Good idea?

I need to have a sensible car on standby as having just the SD1 and Chim is
getting silly. I like the look of it - 143bhp, RWD and decent economy.
Plus the one I'm looking at has had a few suspension goodies fitted so
should handle ok.

Opinions...?

A mate has a 5 series with that engine (I think- it's a 2.5 6-cyl with
around that BHP) and a slushbox. It goes respectably well, gives high
thirties MPG or better, and for a diesel, sounds lovely. It has,
however, recently blown the turbo, but the engine survived.
