Admittedly they're not as quiet as a big rep mobile but I really didn't find my 172 with its standard or powerflow exhaust annoying sat at 70-90 on the motorway. I didn't feel I had to have the stereo on full whack to hear it... Same with my 182 with an RS192 and K-tax induction.
And believe me...
Unless you've got a silly loud exhaust I don't see how 4000rpm is much of an issue myself. I've travelled thousands of miles around europe in mine and always found it comfy.
I was actually looking at the 0-100 rather than the lap times re the BMW. I've no doubt that the big Mercs torque helps their performance but at the other end of the scale you could have an F1 car with big HP, high revs and appropriate gearing with little torque and they're still very quick...
Come on lol... The stats don't stack up there, nowhere near.

I had a blast with a 325d coupe (3l) a few years ago and had no issue getting away from it. People get far to hung up on all...
Looks nice and clean:).
I think people go for these to do the lights.

Not if he gets one with it already done..
Saying that though he should see 40mpg+ driven like his Rover at 70 so wouldn't be overly bothered about getting one without if it was in better condition than the one with.
