Hello & Welcome  :y

The BMW'ed Omega probably isnt the most respected to be honest, but people with more knowledge will advise you further.

It is detuned, although chipping restores this, but if auto then a stronger gearbox is needed.  Think it also needs very frequent oil changes.

A warm welcome Ash.
They do a 2.2DTi if your budget will stretch that far. I've one, it's very good on fuel & picks up well at cruizing speeds, because it's a torquey diesel. So far a very reliable unit too  :y
Mine was a little flat when i first got her, but after some help from M,DTM & a re-map, she now goes very well  8-)
