Thanks for all your pointers.

New things to think about: emissions & safety.

The 940 has no airbags, or abs. It has a cat converter, and the tail pipe is always clean so particle emissions I guess are low. It doesnt use oil. It does leak it though (front and rear seals need doing i think. d'oh). I have no idea how it would compare to the 1 series on CO and CO2.

The 118 bmw has enough safety stuff. It is euro5 diesel. The tailpipe is always clean as the dpf properly functions.

Someone also made a point about memories... which is important to me as (when allowed) do lots of roadtrips. And a semi-sketchy vehicle is always fun.

As I still can't decide (mrs suggested to wait a bit), I have cleared the garage and put it inside so it stops killing the front grass.
