Petrol and not a touring. Comfy for the occasional 120m round trip commute. Any ideas for a friend?

Cash purchase, or lease/pcp?

Cash purchase.

Sorry mate so am I! He doesn't like estates or touring so saloon or coupe I guess. Doesn't want a diesel so that just leaves petrol. I thought C63 perhaps as he's not too fussed about mpg.

Current shape M5 will be within budget if you're good at haggling.

A Ford Focus will commute as quickly as anything else.

Given the pretty broad parameters...

Lexus LC500.

Naturally aspirated V8. Supercar looks and unlike anything else on the road. Genuinely fantastic interior. Japanese build quality. Lexus customer service. The cheapest car on sale (even that is a low 10k miler within the original warranty period) just about comes under budget.

This car makes me want to put my kids up for adoption.

RS7 would be another to add to the list.

50k would get you into RS5. It would be comfy enough for a decent commute, with performance on tap..
