I already posted these pics in the welcome section, but I tought they would be better in here...

My current ride is a 2002 2.5DTI Executive Caravan


some other pics on the local airfield



Short after picking up the car in Berlin, the wiring harness was modified for Memory seating...


Latest addition, some 20" wheels.
These are FoxRS Futura
Front 8.5Jx20 ET35 w. 245/30
Rear 10Jx20 ET38 + spacer 10mm w. 285/25

Some rearview impression


I also own another Omega A 2.3D LS from 1989:
The two brothers togheter


This car is my first car and my alltime backup.
Still took me to Berlin (800km) with only one stop (I needed some food Tongue) at his mere 19y of age.

The car in between these two was a 2002 2.5DTI Elegance Saloon, which served me well for 4 years until january this year.
He got crashed into a lighting pole on icy road.
May he rest in peace...

Illuminat0r putting on the winter-tyres in a rush...

Towing ain't a problem.
1 Piano and 1 aquarium filled up the boot (seats down)
The rest of the furniture into the trailer...

Great pictures

What 'winter' tyres do you use?

[Illuminat0r]

hehe, standard 15" steel rims in 'dirty black'
Right the same as the car usually looks in the winter

Actually the upcoming winter will be the first for this Omega for me.
I currently have a set of 195/65 15 I brought along when buying the car, but i prefer the 205/65 15, noticeablye better handling on the 'big Omega B'.
The 195 is actually ideal for the Omega A.

But we'll see. If I really don't like the 195 again i'll just get a new set.

I'm also thinking over a set of spikes, for the really bad days.
I could live with the reduced allowable maximum speed on those tires since they will only run very little.
I just don't want to risk skidding on ice once more.

Nice omega but needs a KW coilover-kit

I was about to question 2.5 Dti as we have over here 2.2Dti or the earlier 2.5TD. But I see the saloon has a 2.5Dti badge on the rear. What engine is the 2.5Dti?
Nice caravan (estate)

Mick

[Illuminat0r]

2.5TD is 'standard' straight-six turbo-charged, intercooled.
used until approximately 2001. Also found in de BMW 525tds.
Delivers 130hp.

The 2.5DTI is an evolution of this engine.
also straight-six off course. 
It has common-rail fuel injection and variable inlet valves.
Delivers 150hp and 300Nm standard.  Most perform right above those numbers
You can find this engine in the 525d E39.
Later BMW used further improved versions (193hp i thought),
and currently only the 3.0l is still available under de 525d badge

[goats milk]

nice estate, does need a bit less space in the arches with the 20" on

Komt ook overal de zelfde tegen.

Sweet looking Mig. Not sure what a certain admin. will think about you calling it a caravan!!!
    Regarding the pic with the trailer it seem very small for a twin axle. Do you carry heavy loads in it?

[geuymartz]

Love the wheels what brand

[Illuminat0r]

OK, It's quite a while ago since I checked the forum here, so here we go...

Last year the Omega was repainted completely.
A lady missed the parkingspot, scrubbing the front bumper.
And due to a lack of time and insurance pressure on the repair date, I couldn't do a decent polish to decide which panels to paint or not.
So on that point the obligatory Irmscher front and rear spoiler were fitted and also the rare Irmscher rear bumper, which was collected last minute in Germany.
The 'Heck' is off-course finished with a Doppel-Endrohr (by Irmscher)

Front and Rear bumper were foreseen of PDC:
Hmm, I don't seem to have a picture of the front PDC yet...
Rear:

And with explanation (in Dutch):

Full window tint, nice but not too dark:

And to further personalize the car, the B1 rear window heating was custom-fitted to the B2 rear panels.
Wiring added and working!

nice estate, does need a bit less space in the arches with the 20" on

hehe, yeah, more people told me about dropping it a few centimeters.
Somehow it could look nice, and in the last few weeks it's actually itching to do so, but I still don't wanna loose the Omega's Comfort (even running the 25% tyres on it)

Regarding the pic with the trailer it seem very small for a twin axle. Do you carry heavy loads in it?

No I usually don't pull anything along.  This was an exceptional day helping out a very close friend in moving.
It looks small but the complete setup was fairly heavy.
Inside the Caravan you could find a fish-bowl AND a piano taking up space from boot to front seat 
Later that day a crane/lift was hauled also, and I even lost one bolt on the driveaxle 

Love the wheels what brand

Hey thanks.
Wheels are Fox RS, second hand bought.
They were fitted to a Merc. E originally.
I'm using special bolts with loose nuts to adjust from 5x112 to 5x110
