M3 v Alfa Giulia QF

[Steve Campbell]

I have a QF 21 plate but it s coming time to change for me. It s been a fantastic car but I rarely buy the same thing twice .but I m severely tempted this time. The obvious replacement is an M3 if I change brands, and I ve never scratched the M itch. My last BMW was a 330D.

Anyone driven M3 and QF and can comment ? What am I going to like / dislike ? Haven t sorted test drive yet but going into Alfa at the weekend first to see what the cost to change would be .but thought I d get the BMW opinion here .yes I know first world problems etc.

I m talking a new one or nearly new.

Also, what else should be in the running. Here s the current have a think about in the similar price range :
M3, C63 AMG, M4 (unsure about 2 door)
Or go smaller ..then >
RS3 Sportbak, M2 (unsure about 2 door)
Or go mad and look at Alfa Stelvio QF :-)

What haven t I thought of or should I just think M3 ?
Thx

I had a Veloce and I'm now in a 230 so not quite the same comparison but the thing I miss most from the Giulia is the steering wheel, it's so nice and thin whereas BMW insist on really thick wheels. It's also no where near as good looking but no one cracks jokes about it being unreliable.
