Edit:
Here is a 535 manual w/ sport seats (but not M-Sport package). I don't like the options or colors personally:

Edit again:
Here is another sport package one with a nice color combo and option list (dealership looks ultra sketchy):

That last one isn't m-sport either.

As I recall everyone saying the 535i is as fast as the 550i, I'll happily pocket the ~$15K price difference, even if it means taking a few months to find a desirable copy.

But I need to drive one with a slushy and also find a 340i to drive.

I still really like the S4 but now think I'd probably go used if I go that route.

yeah...why a 5er and not a 3er?

I mentioned this a while back. One of the boxes I want to check with the next car purchase is a back seat large enough to fit adult-sized children comfortably.

And I really dislike how the front end of the F30 looks.

I will still probably just end up leasing a 340i when all is said and done. But I'll waste a few months getting to that answer.

I'll bet the 550i feels much faster. It certainly feels faster in the X5.

440i Grand Coupe? I like the sleeker profile.

How old? My S4 is for sale, but it is a ragtop, and you already have one of those

Oh, it would be a current model sedan. 4-doors and a moderately roomy back seat are requirements. No need for an M3 vert and a similarly old S4 vert.
