I sold my M3 e46 (SMG, tubi, 19", superchip, groupM and brembo) for the QP. what a car it was . I think the performance are about the same. I'm not dissapointed at all. Althought love to keep both cars.

I share the same view about the city vs.country driving. In town during the weekdays it is not a relaxing car to drive. My friend's QP which over a year old the SMG software is ever worse. I think Maser has made improvement to the current version.

THe handering is alot like the 575. It ride soft if you don't push but once you push the car the software reponse by beefing up the setting. It takes some getting use to (confidence). It is different from all the big A8, S500, 750. It is not an M5 either.
