Oh crap....wanting a 328....yet again

[Mario149]

It seems to be a bi-annual thing I go through, but I'm wanting a 328 again It's one of 2 Fcars I could conceptually get out of my 355 for, the other being a 550.

I'm not ashamed to say it, but I'm getting (a little) older and shallower - while a 355 is beautiful, a 328 is just so *elegant*, *gorgeous* old school and rarer. I have to say that the cheaper running costs and rock solid values also appeal, but it's getting to the point where absolute performance isn't necessarily floating my boat like it used to and these issues are always a trade-off in the end.

My current circumstances have changed somewhat in the (nearly) 2 years since I bought my 355, so now I only use her once every 2 weeks or so (call it only 5k miles a year all in), something a bit rarer and dare I say it more impractical/difficult appeals. A 355 is more visceral and challenging than a modern car, so the possibility of getting more of that appeals a lot (hopefully I'll have a bike for the "scare me silly" moments in a few weeks....cross fingers for my Module 2 test a week Friday please!)

Anyway, the reason for this post is to get opinions from others Am I crazy?! I know wineman02 p/x-ed his 456 for a 328 recently for the shear feeling of it so I can't be alone.

Be warned once you have a sports bike you'll get the power rush, but get rid of it and you'll crave a faster car.....

I had two 328's and given the funds I'd have another in an instant (as well as the car i have now of course...)!

Me too, you won't regret it but drive one for a while first, the driving position is 'unusual' but a lot of that can be fixed with a wheel spacer

I think the driving position is worse in the 355!
