The F430 was just a dream, like a scalpel on the road and sounded better than the Lambo. But OP if you like the lambo go for it, still a good looking car and a head turner. The turbo kits have been out for a while so I'm sure you can speak to some tuners to get some quality feedback. I dont' think you will find many lambo owners on M3Post.

No particular reason for the 09+, other than the newer body. I don't know any technical improvements, i just love the updated look. Your absolutely right, you can save that money for the kit. It's all on you, tons of low mileage G's out there anyway, so you can get an 06 or so and slap those snails on. Best of luck and be safe with it. |

LOL, way out of my price range. I could possibly get it if I sell my E92 M3, but I'm going to keep it. |

The BMW or even the M tax is peanuts compared to Ferrari prices for even the most standard replacement parts.

I disagree and the OP didn't mention he didn't have the money to fix items if something did happen. I wouldn't want a car I purchased (whether it is a $20k Honda or a $500k SuperCar) to be in the shop often whether I have the money or not to fix it.

You sound bitter. While some exotics like the Aventador may be expensive to maintain, the Gallardo is daily driven by many people. It's pretty dam reliable. |

HAHAHAHA that video was filmed at Ross Dock Park. I attended the BMW E30 M3 SIGFest there last year. All he did was drive back and forth on their fairly short entrance road. Beautiful machine, but I cannot stomach his videos at all.

I find the first-gen Gallardo really underwhelming. Of course the initial reaction is wow but I think you will get over it too quickly unless you spend more on it. I'd rather have a Stradale. I think a good compromise is maybe finding a modified Gallardo, lots of properly done-up ones on 6SpeedOnline.com. Congrats that you are able to go to the next level. Best of luck with your purchase.

But it's always fun to see that "stuck up british dude" spin out and crash his cars because of his terrible driving skills and his big belly getting in the way of the steering wheel
