well if i had 15k to spend ......i wouldnt spend it on one car lol.
But if i had to, and i wanted a fast, reasonably economic sports estate.....

without a shadow of a doubt it would be a BMW 535d m sport touring.

like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-535d-M-Sport-Auto-Touring-High-Spec-Car-/360377163582?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item53e8271f3e#ht_2306wt_1139

Very crashy ride, run flats tram line all over ze place and split the rims. Still crashy with normal tyres fitted. IMO!

Agreed on the ride quality but the performance from that bi-turbo engine is epic ;)

Even the standard 330d is enough to make the Silver Bullet sweat. Apparently ::). 

But never fear, the Silver Bullet upheld dignity for all Omegas, and beat the jumped up little upstart, driven no doubt by some junior rep :y
