He said he wants speed, but also old man refinement. Not much more old man refinement than a 7 Series with beige leather and silver switchgear

It'll probably feel even slower than the 530d despite not being so. It strikes me that it isn't outright performance he wants more an exciting feel.
Which as much as I like this sort of car, I don't think it's going to offer him.
I still think an M240 is the answer here. Basically the same inside as a 3 or 4 Series, a fantastic engine and if that doesn't feel quick and fun enough for him I give up
What happened to that 340i you were looking at @ThundyCat ?
Couldn't find one with the right spec within my budget.
Then I started looking at the 5 series.
What do you currently drive? I like powerful cars and I never found my F10 530d 'slow'. Sure, it's not M3 pace, but it was plenty fast enough when required.
I just specced up a 340i Touring and got it to £63K, which has shocked me to be honest.
I have not been a 3 series buyer for 15 years but £22K more than I paid for a brand new M3 back then 'feels' expensive but I suppose that is inflation (I've not done the maths).

Good time to sell a 420d M Sport convertible, or hang on?
You won't need to pay £63k for it, though. I'd still be expecting a double figure percentage discount.
I am not buying one I don't think, too much money for me for a 2nd car but thought I would have a nose.
Nearly new is my usual preference, let someone else take the hit. Well.....in a normal market but the world is CRAZY as we know these days
I really agree. I've driven a few now and I've been really impressed despite them all being 320d. It's a fantastic car made all the more better by the fact the last one was pretty rubbish.
Considered the 8 Series? 840i has the M240i engine + has the comfort and spec to top the 5?
How is he going to get one of those for £20-30k?!
I'll have one myself if they are that cheap already!
