16 valve chain driven DOHC

Superb engine .... blows smelly diesels away ... try to get one already converted to LPG (@50p - 56p) a litre ...

Just remember to change the oil ... once a year ... and the sparkies every four years... (or @60 thousand miles) ..

I had (still have) a 2.5TD Omega ... suberb BMW straight 6 engine ...

But thats been parked up for 3 1/2 years ... so you know which I prefer ...

Mind you ... it was touch and go when the petrol crunch came earlier this year ... then I had my Emmy converted to LPG ...
