I cross-shopped it with the E43/540i/XF-S and it's significantly cheaper than the e43. The Jag is the cheapest but I've driven two different Jag loaners and it has the most buggy infotainment system on the planet and still doesn't have android auto.

The 540i costs a bit more and has nicer interior and tech but I'm just not really into it. It's also slower.

Forgot to mention I need a lease for tax reasons, and sticker price often bears no relation to lease cost.

Keep in mind that electrical/electronic issues are more likely with the Ghibli than the BMW, and if you are not in continental europe, spare parts may take a while to reach you. Hell I live in :italy: and still would have second thoughts at buying a Maserati due to mainteinance expenses/downtime.

 FYI the latest grand tour episode has a nice Lancia 037 retrospective(which saddens me a lot as most people nowadays remember Florio as “that dude that comments Formula 1” rather than the dude that clowned Audi like suckers)
