Haven't driven one, but the later 4 pots are 177bhp, which is similar power territory to the early x30d.
It'd be less refined, but then it's a diesel anyway...
57mpgz apparently...

Less to go wrong?
It's a bad example, more of a nod to the aspect of spending 20k and having fuel economy compromise your choice...

bit over the 20k limit mate, its purely for alpine commuting so I'm reasonably strict on budget, unless you know a man who knows a man

You will get a 2.7 for 20k no problem.

You don't need driving fun when you are going to be skiing at the other end.
Maybe not, but unless he's going every month, is the extra economy going to be worth it?
<2000 mile round trip, and that's if you go via Dover...
Personally I'm not a fan of a turbo in snow.
Can't you leave your kit there and go in the Porsche / fly?
cant fly, ever, i hate it
porsche, whilst nice cant carry skis, boots and/or any of my gear
given previous years this car will easily rack up 30k a year, which i reckon is worth it, after an hour driving the VW life gets pretty rough!

For that sort of mileage I'd be looking at something significantly bigger and 'waftier' than a 3 series....definitely 5 series territory.

Haven't seen you for far too long Will. I've probably got to visit Londinium sometime next year before March. I shall come and pass out on your floor for a night
They do a 3.0 with 231bhp. Can get one in budget if he doesn't mind it being a 2006 car or a 2007 with higher mileage.

Audi a6 avant 3.0tdi quattro tiptronic. 2-3yrs old and 45mpg on the autoroute. Great car for the long trips and usually specced with all the toys. Allroad would be good too
Edit. Nobody bothers with the 2.7 as the 3.0 is faster and returns nearly the same economy.

It does 60 in just over 8 seconds. The 2.0 170 would carry 4 people in comfort without ever feeling strained or slow - the 2.7 is plenty
