I completely Agree. ///M3 cannot compete with Ferrari engine of Giulia Quadrifoglio (or Julie Four-leaf Clover

). It can compete maybe with ///M5. The issue is that ///M5 has a heavier engine than the 2.9 l V6 Ferrari engine. Plus it came out with a higher speed than ///M3 or ///M5 factory set (even with Mpower pack installed). So from the engine point of view it is a stunning car. AS in my previous post the lacking part is the detail featured in this car which are poor compared to the luxury opponents.

I think the giulia qv competes pricewise with the m3
But you're comparing it to cars that are up to 2 or 3 times its price?
You cant give the giulia a bigger compliment!

Well Giulia quadrifoglio is equipped with a Ferrari engine. Even if I do prefer Lamborghini to Ferrari, this engine is way better than bimmer ones. if it was just for the engine the car would be a best buy. the issue is the lack in detail that FCAU brands gives to its cars.. so I would prefer still a less powerful bimmer or if I want something more I would go into a higher class car like those posted earlier

Isn't the Ghibli equipped with a Ferrari engine as well? I'm not too sure about this but I remember reading that the Ghibli's 3.0 V6 is built by Ferrari.

Correct. It has the F160. I don't think the Ghibli is as nice as the Giulia Quad.

Disappointing that no manual is coming to the US. But, Chris Harris wasn't too impressive with the MT. He liked the car overall, but still stated he would rather have a M3/M4.
