3.6 tdv8 or lpg 4.4 v8

[DKL]

We quite fancy one of these as a family waggon and I'd always envisaged having a lpg bmw v8. But decent ones of these are harder to find as they are older and tend to have huge miles on them but I inagine they are out there.
But the 3.6 tdv8 has the same bhp and mpg and as its a stock LR vehicle should be a better bet for trouble free travelling.
They are a bit newer so a bit more expensive but £10k still gets you a 07/08 sub 100k car.
I might save £3 or £4k on the older car but I can't decide if I'd probably spend that anyway on repairs.
Anyone run both?

Thanks for the reply. I need to see one of each really and hear just how bad the diesels are. I've never had a diesel. My rrc is lpg or rather it will be when I reconnect it. The problem is that specialists who know what they are doing are getting fewer and farther between. My local one lost their premises and wound it up altogether.
The bmw 4.4 cars are that much older so I am a little concerned about ongoing costs between a £5k lpg car and a £10k tdv8.
I think it will depend on what comes up.

Thanks, always good to hear positive stories. Missed the car I liked due partly to logistics and partly due to pessimism! But there will be others.
