It's a 324d and not td unfortunately 
I thought they were more for towing than economy as they are 6-pots, doubt if a 2.4 6 cylinder diesel would be much more economincal than say a 316i - likely to be slower as well
Impossible to insure too as none of the insurance companies know what it is.......don't do it
How about an LPG converted E30?

I think there's just one word to describe this car.
'WRONG'
It was made in an era when german diesels were at least a decade behind the french. This is basically BMW's budget taxi for it's home market.
Steer well clear. If you need a diesel that handles well buy a Citroen Xantia for Ԛ£800. The andyspares discussion forum is as good as the E30 zone for advice and help too!!
The ultimate advice is buy a 318i, not much less economical than a 316i and decent performance too. You'll get a good one for about Ԛ£800 easily.
