I feel proper grandad/pipe and slippers when I read that back!

Two years younger than you, and agree about getting thrashed by the car, so I only drive my Z3 every so often. I also agree that you'll want comfort, but think you may miss the power. Over the last decade, progressively, every car I've purchased had more horsepower -- Z3 225, V70R 300, 550i 400. Losing leg muscle to push the pedal seems to require more HP.
Bottom line: recommend you consider the power you currently available and how much you'll miss it.
