Just a heads up, be prepared to make a trip to the dealer at least once every 2 months.... common with every Maserati owner I've met and even my own experience.

Congratulations to the OP on a beautiful car.
well then - on that note, i hope OP enjoys his new chrysler.
Only parts to my knowledge which are shared are headlight and window controls and infotainment. Cars also has Ferrari designed engine and exhaust then doesn't that mean I have a Ferrari

Honestly my n54 was in and out of shop every 2 months so BMW is no Toyota or Honda like they don't go in shops. I just don't understand the hate towards a car maker who made a beautiful car if it shared parts from Chrysler to cut some corners it also shared parts with Ferrari and built in same plant as Ferrari. Even BMW M4 engine and exhaust don't sound like a Ghibli. So argument over reliability and shared parts is bogus as being a BMW owner for most of my life I understand how reliable Bmws are and I am sure they are not better than Maserati in that respect.

Also the fun and passion I used to get driving e46 BMW has gone in the recent years but this Ghibli felt somewhat like Old BMWs raw in nature and a drivers car.

Go drive a brand new fully loaded Chrysler Minivan and you'll notice they share quite a few more things lol

But hey man congrats, love that color combo, enjoy it in good health.

I want a Ghibli S as well but had to go back to the forum and ask you! Any regrets or things you miss about the F10? Im worried the infotainment system wont be up to par and not having my head up display... Maserati near me they are offerring 22K off brand new 2016 Ghibli S. MSRP 81k minus 22 = 59K


Jump on it or keep my F10... decisions decisions

I don't regret it one bit. Mine has Bowers and Wilkins sound system so had no issues with sound system. MTC system doesn't have the HD graphics like BMW but honestly I don't sweat over it one bit just because the overall car experience is tons better.

My recommendation would be to get one with 20inch wheels, two tone dash, S or SQ4, sports package and paddle shifters.

I ended up ecu tuning the car and was amazed now pushing 480HP and 496LB torque and the drive in unbelievable. The sound the car makes is enough to overlook everything else.
