Lol, think if I was going to that level of trouble, I would pick a decent diesel engine which would exclude the BMW 2.5 lump!


I ahev wondered about the 3.0 Vectra one.

Am I right in thinking that that was in a few SAAB's as well?

Not really worth it - the V6 is a better engine and someone on this forum gets 38mpg out of his :o

But he drives like grandad.  And its a manual.

If I drive like grandad in my 3.0 auto, I reckon I could easily get low 30s on his commute.
