As for the ZS derv, I don't see why it wouldn't handle the same as the 180, the brakes you may as well upgrade to 180 ones or some aftermarket setup. It will be slower and it wouldn't sound as pretty but it's a compromise you have to take when you want to save on fuel. Anything with a BMW engine would provide less mpg than the L-series.
Also, it being rather simple, there are less things to go wrong and most of the time you would drive it rather than repair it...
Although not so powerful, it's torgue won't dissapoint you and your pocket money would be enough to tune it a bit if you want a lot more power.

I know they are very tuneable and cheap to run after the old 200, this is why I do keep looking at the ZS option now.
Also like you say with the probable saved income over using less fuel, cheaper tax and lower insurance I would be able to make it more interesting to drive over standard.
Plus think still got some diesel goodies hidden away in the garage for the last L series.

I think the two posts above hit the nail on the head, you are probably going to lose money on the 180 given current prices and will regret it.

This is the main heart argument, I know I will miss the v6 but if I keep plowing money into it am I going to lose the love and then regret not changing when I could possibly afford to.
If it does go I will have another one day.
