Well, if we take a value of £3600 to £4100 for it...considering the rarity of the Irmscher kit offest against the mileage.
I doubt many OOFers would pay that for it, but someone will no doubt and that is a realistic price in the open market.
You could buy a 2.2 DTI in either CDX or Elite trim.
I only buy Omega's with Xenon headlights...so CDX, MV6, ELITE or Special (Police) so that's why I chose CDX trim.

Be fairly easy to add almost everything to a DTI CDX, memory leather, rear blind, sat nav, already has sunroof and cruise, xenons etc. Easily add new wheels and Irmscher kit if you wanted.

A few on here would no doubt actually cry if you fitted a TD engine to a 3.2 Elite looking like yours  :D

You could just transfer the Irmscher stuff to the replacement Omega. That'd then make your 3.2 worth low £3k on the open market, possibly a bit less.

I really know very little of the diesels, only know the 2.2 DTI has 122 bhp, and is rather slow in standard guise.

The BMW engine ceased in the Omega's in 2001 on the 'Y' plate, the 2.2 DTI replaced it. So I assumed you'd want as new as possible, only reason I suggested the 2.2 DTI really

Hopefull one of the diesel owners will be along shortly to advise.

lpg it ya nutter, or sell it to me. ;) ;D

The Boy lpg'd his 3.0 grumpy mv6 for 5-600 i believe, with single hole 80(?) litre tank in the boot space. Mine was 800 with a more expensive but smaller upright donut tank in the spare wheel well. Both fitted diy by the owners. :y
