Sold the car when it started rusting beyond what I wanted to deal with, and also had my eye on a 320CDI. Never had problems with the rubber bits disintegrating.

112,000 miles on creative fuel on my CDI so far and lovin' it.
I haven't heard anything positive coming out of running CDIs on Biodiesel. There was never any actual proof proven so far to back up the claims, but at 112K miles it sounds like you're going to be doing fine in the long-term.
