That's a very pretty car, just not pictured from a flattering angle.

Yea it's a hard car to photograph but looks the business in the flesh, like you said maybe some different alloys would do it wonders?

I really love the look of the 4200 Gransport that's the 4200 nailed.
 
How are you finding it compared to the M3? Obviously the v8 is very nice but I can't help but think the M3 was the nicer looking motor!
 
It's a tough one. Like I said the Maserati I look at and absolutely adore but catch it at the wrong angle and it fails to stir me, I'm not even sure what it is, perhaps I miss that 'sporty' look of my previous cars.

The drive is completely different, handles incredibly well but will get out of shape quickly, the engine in the M3 simply doesn't compare to the V8 F136, the performance is absoloutely stunning and the paddle shift is fun.

I'm not sure with the Maserati but then I drive it again and I absoloutely love it, I don't think I've owned any other car that stirs reactions from people as much as this car does. One thing for sure is it definitely doesn't lack character.

Had it for six months now and all it's cost me is petrol and a headlight bulb

Hopefully you still have it at a motors meet so o can see it! Sounds great it does :)

For me it's going to be very hard to pick a genuine upgrade to the M3. Most folks here know how fond am of the shape, it's just the right proportion from all angles in my eyes both inside and out. I sit in newer cars that "could" be on the cards in years to come at first but then I look closer and realise that I'd get annoyed with various things.

Maybe I'll have this car forever, unless I win the lotto and can afford a new Granturismo MC, what a machine :p
 
I would find it a challenge to upgrade from the Maserati for the money there's not much else that can really match it if you get what I mean, to upgrade I'd want to be spending twice as much then you're in DB9 territory and other prestige

Sat outside a restaurant last Saturday, car parked nearby. The evening was lovely and clear and still nice and light so snapped a quick picture :)

SNAP!

I finally pulled the trigger and treated myself to some new wheels.

I don't think I've owned a car less than 10 years old over the last 10 years, so was time for an upgrade.

Went from this:

Really enjoying it so far :)
 
Thanks!

Yeah, definitely an upgrade. It's got cup holders, air conditioning, and automatic lights! :D

(I went through 3 batteries on the Saxo over the last few years because I'd leave the lights on by mistake and the buzzer stopped working :( )

It also goes zero to zoom much quicker than the Saxo :)
