[QUOTE="wirelessjunkie, post: 58859, member: 58"] Haha...Deja vu.. All those thoughts raced through my mind as well but nevertheless the engine is a real gem. Notice how unmetallic it sounds relative to the Bimmers. If you have heard an E46 M3 take off, it's all metal grinding but if you listen to an ALFA 156 GTa take off, man, your heart melts. The newer Alfas seem to be holding its value pretty well. I was in Sepang inside a 166 and it's pretty impressive but for the 4 speed Auto. We are definately in the market for another car since the long overdue replacement for the stolen Harrier. If is RM120k budget, I guess 5-6 years down the road, the Alfa will still be less than 10 years old whilst the same E39 would be about 13 years old which it's resale is probably < RM50k. but then again, see what the Missus say about it. There is also a very sexy looking 2003 147 Selespeed with full zender kit etc at the same price too...but down on the hP and the all important torque. [/QUOTE]
