I don't mean to be rude, but was this a typo?
A vehicle that is nearly 3 years old and is still at 67% of it's MSRP would be considered phenomenal.

Overall it's a hard call. Each vehicle has pros and cons.
We know that the BMW is very reliable but they are everywhere.
However, the Maserati is exotic, beautiful, few in numbers, fabulous, fit, feel, and aroma, and an attention getter.
I have a BMW for daily transport. The Ferrai is for enjoyment. I would not drive to LA in my Ferrari but would not hesitate with the BMW.
A QP I would easily drive to LA.
So which one? I'd opt for the QP. It's still a car of great interest to me, but so is the Bentley Spur.
If you get the QP, you willd efinitely enjoy it but it can have a few problems.
Just make sure you get the ZF auto tranny model.
We all don't want to say "we told you so"!!!

I sell BMW and have been for 4 years. The QP is def more of a "special" car than the M5 IMO. Just search you-tube for a video og a QP with Tubi and you will want it.

RX - pm me more details on your car? Before you trade it in to a stealer, I'm curious to hear more about it, mileage, MSRP/options, color, condition, warranty, etc.

Matter of opinion...and as for slow..."if your important, they will wait for you".
I loved my m5, but the qportte is something extraordinary. And like I said, its not all about speed.
