The car would be more then powerful enough standard, this was mainly done to smoothout power delivery but it's more like a 525 now to be fair. My car was one of our company cars that an engineer had from new so it's had full bm history which helps.. I know its had the engine but it drives hardly any different to my dads with 40k apart from the power difference lol

Sounds spot on, the e61 itself is great and you obviously know yours and where it's been, many people won't replace the dpf as you can imagine, there's just stuff you can't account for when buying a car like that blind, if its ever had petrol through it for example, won't show straight away but you could soon be into a few injectors at 300 a piece or a high pressure pump at the best part of a grand. I'm not trying to scare anyone to death but the petrol equivalent is definitely worth considering.
