355 is a good car to drive, but must be 6 speed manual as the F1 gear box (first year version) is no good & slow. Overall not as reliable & practical compared to Porsche.

i like it, there is one parked at the academy of performing arts with rally bucket seats, it is a convertible, and still very sexy.
there is a 993 in my car park, a convertible, with the same type "noisy' exhaust as yours,possibly even louder without even revving, but super lowered.
he said the Billy car is very rare and worth a lot nowadays

Maybe just me or due to the colour,
new 6 series feels not attractive to me in any way.
