Quattroporte-double wishbone,47/53 (near to perfect 42/58 ) and translaxe... as a result better accelaration, ore precisely turn in/out and better supleness. Sorry Guys but Bmw's myth of 50/50 perfection is dead. It is not accidental that 159 won all the tests of dynamique behaviour despite being heavier and had the smallest engine in cubish...
159 1.9JTDm 150hp vs A4 2.0TDI vs 320d vs Mondeo 2.2TDCI vs Accord 2.2-CTDI vs C220 CDI vs Vectra 1.9CDTi vs 407 2.0HDi vs 9-3 1.9TiD vs Avensis 2.2 D-cat vs Passat 2.0TDi

159 WON ALL THE TESTS OF ACTIVE SAFETY despite having the smallest engine in cubism with vectra-9-3...most fun to drive.
1)First in acceleration in curve.
2)First in wet Lane Change
3)First in Lane change
4)First in slalom
5)First in reindeer test

Comments from BMW forum:
-Next time...tell them to hit the Power buton before going on the track....
-Totally unbelievable!
Maserati is significantly heavier, has over 100 hp less and still faster on track then the M5?
-I still can't believe that the Italians managed to make a big luxury saloon like that look so achingly beautiful. Its simply gorgeous! Probably the best looking saloon on sale today! And just look at that interior - Maserati has managed to out-jaguar Jaguar. Who says the British do the wood and leather treatment best.

o sa denaturam cu siguranta discutia de baza dar hai sa continuam... acum 3 ani un prieten francez povestea cum schimba el la ferrari arborele o data la 25 000 de km... ca sa zic asa, cum noi la revizii schimbam curele, el schimba arborele si ce naiba mai era pe acolo... dar avea Ferrari, italienesc... Dupa cum stii principiul in formula 1 este ca motorul sa cedeze imediat dupa ce ai terminat cursa si daca aplici astfel de principii pe strada nu ai nici o sansa... Intradevar, italienii au avut ceva rezultate dar orientarea lor a fost destul de gresita conceptual pentru ca nimeni nu vrea o racheta supersonica care moare dupa primii 500 de metri... am condus destul de multe Fiaturi si pot spune ca una peste alta mi-au placut insa nu mi-as cumpara niciodata unul... pai la orice gropita troncanea totul de la ansamblul rotii la caroserie... daca ai da banii pe o astfel de masina te-ar durea sufletul sa iesi cu ea pe strada... recunosc deasemenea ca la design 147 este superba, mai ales neagra dar doar atat... mi s-a pus mie pata acum poate si o sa-mi treaca dar prefer masinile nemtesti...
