An engine we never got in UK Omegas, so know very little specifically about how they are fitted in, and variances from BMW spec.

But a well regarded engine in BMW form.

Can't see the Trim level? cant be mv6 with a Diesel engine, can it?

I'm on a mobile, but looks like mv6 cloth seats, with an ncdc nav. Unusual combination. :y

On the beemers, the 2.5 engines can have the ecu re programmed to 3.0 spec, as the engine is a detuned 3.0 lump.

I don't suppose there's is software available to run 3.0 spec in an omega though. :(

Opel MV6's are different to ours. In fact, I think they were our Elite, although trim levels vary.

Didn't the 2 beemer engines have different turbos? Or am I thinking the 535d version?

The 3.0 Beemer lump is single turbo in the 530 and twin turbo in the 535D :y

opel extras can be choosen by customers .. so you can expect any combination..

more interestingly a simple omega estate shopping has been turned into a SUV shopping nightmare as his swmbo take part :( :-\

cant predict the end currently as latest candidates were subaru and honda crv :(

and the budget has been increased to 20K£ pounds by bank credit :-X

I must confess both drivers even hardly drive an auto peugeot 308 and unable to park ;D ;D ;D ;D

and today on the phone I told them they must enter military tank driving lessons ;D ;D ;D

and better have some tyre sellers and a fuel shop owner in the family ;D :-\
