Here it is, then: the 2021 BMW M3 Competition. With 510hp from its 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six, it's the most powerful M3 ever made. But those after four doors, four seats, more than 500hp and an auto 'box are already well served by the latest Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio. Can the rear-drive M3 really be better than the best sports saloon out there? Dan went to Wales to find out...

Just purchased a 2023 Giulia QF after considering the M3 and its cohorts. The M3 was everything you said it was; fast, purposeful, a clearly superior interior, and hard edged. But still.... I could not bring myself to say no to the Alfa. Having said that, one of my best friends has a new M3, and I'm sure he's equally happy with his decision. This is one of those rare instances when there is no bad choice to be made.

I always look forward Dan Prosser’s brutal honesty and objectivity in his car reviews. He’s at the top of his game and his delivery style is top notch. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is a riot to pilot and it feels uniquely in a class of its own that all of a sudden, the other cars don’t really matter any more.

Very good review; I completely agree on the comments you made on the sense of fluidity and sharpness the Giulia can deliver. I'm a car enthusiast and I'm not into big screens and fancy Infotainment systems, especially when talking about sports cars. What matters to me is character, personality, the connection you can develop with the car and the fun you have when you drive it. From this point of view the Alfa is amazing: I own/owned other high performance cars (mostly BMW Ms and Porsches) but my Giulia Quadrifoglio has a very special place in my heart.

Alfa for me no contest really. The thing you notice in every review and test-drive of the Alfa is that word "love", it really is a car that you can feel an emotional connection with. I don't think many people could feel that for a German car, or many modern cars at all actually, M3 included. I also really like the interior of the Alfa, having had to put up with horrible "digital cockpits" for the last five years or more it is wonderful to have proper analogue dials which are so much better. Would you choose a Casio over a Breitling? - I certainly wouldn't.

The grip levels are immense , for such a powerful rwd car, and the engine really is special, it surges you forward so smoothly, and pulls hard to the limiter.

@@saidalas7763 cause Giulia is a 40k car maybe? The extra amount for the Quadrifoglio you're paying is for the engine, brakes and suspension tweaks. Why do I even need to explain this? It should be common knowledge for a car enthusiast.

The thing that really matters is this, when I look and think about that new M3 there is nothing, no excitement. When I think about the Alfa I'm immediately on Autotrader dreaming about owning one. The Alfa is bought by Car enthusiast's, the BMW is bought by people who can afford it

How are you going to complain about the Alfa interior when you are comparing the base Alfa interior to a very upgraded M3 interior? Compare apples to apples! Get a Quadrifoglio with the track package that comes with the carbon fiber Sparco seats and giant carbon brembo brakes. My guess is you left those features out because the Quadrifoglio would mop the floor with the M3 if you weren’t complaining about the interior quality.

@lucho3332 3 года назад

Exactly. No sparco seats and looks like no carbon fiber steering whee either.

@supaahflyy 3 года назад

The M3 has the first carbon seats that are adjustable in the industry. Are those carbon fibre Sparco seats in the giula adjustable? Because if they aren't they are practically useless when not on a track. You mentioned interior then you mentioned carbon ceramic brakes. Something doesn't add up. The old M3 had a better interior than the Alfa. It's no surprise the new M3 has an interior 2 classes above
