Hi.

I'm looking out for a diesel estate car and quite fancy a larger capacity, multi cylinder motor..

Obvious choices are VAG V6 in either 2.5, 2.7 or 3.0 variants or the BMW straight 6, 325d, 330d or 530d or similar.

I'll be looking around 2005 / 2006 vintage.

330d BMW touring models seem to be a bit thin on the ground for good reason I guess but I've never had anything more than a 4 cylinder 2.0 diesel so looking for any experience of or insight into any of these motors, what to look out for, what to avoid and so on ?

cheers
Martyn
