I should add, even now, there aren't many large estate cars to compare to the Omega, (E Class, Volvo V90, possibly the Pissat/Superb), and if you look after it, it should serve you well

Unfortunately I was in the middle of the queue and no long straights, worse still it they went slower when there was a few drops of rain---------

welcome to the OOF 
As  'Doctor Gollum' said .check for structural corrosion BEFORE spending any money 

Elected.

Hello and welcome to OOF and good luck with the restoration.

Overtake or sit back and suck it up

Rust. Particularly around the front chassis legs and rear sills.

The usual rules apply re water ingress and rodent damage.

Being the BMW 6 cylinder lump rather than the GM 2.2dti, it should go ok. Haynes manual might be of use.

Depending on specification it may have self levelling rear suspension. If this doesn't work and you fit standard rear shocks then you're going to need to uprate the rear springs. If it requires suspension repairs then budget around €1000 to go through it.

Good luck, but remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch

Looks like Thursday is old farts driving day out, for effs sake 35 in a 60 on a clear road. Then the road ruiners have filled a layby with gravel to wreck some side roads (same ones they ruined last year by the look of it) and have temp traffic lights so they can load wagons. 20mph and loose gravel signs on the main road so of course the old farts are slowing down even though the side roads have not been tared.
