Fantastic video!!! Full of emotions! I like the respect you show to these beautiful peace of Italian art!

I have an 07 quatroporte, same car, a bit less miles , around 23k, always in the garage, I love it so much that I don't wan to drive it, just looking at it makes me happy camper.. auto trans too.

IMHO this is the most beautiful saloon ever made. Seriously considering buying on myself in about a year :)

Really great review.. I myself have a M139 from 08. A rare and true beauty indeed.

HEY, nice to see our logo in the "studio" Great work as always Tim.

I watched this video for many times and I will keep watching every week as long as still exist it's really really really the best video about quattroporte in KZfaq you should work in Hollywood mate 😁 Good job ❤

Great vid!! love the shots of the car driving around Dublin!!

Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great videos.

great insights on m139. i have one and you were spot on

I’m surprised you still have the grandsport. That’s honestly been one of my dream cars for a long time. I’m happy someone on KZfaq recognizes the car.

The exhaust note after the swap I think turned out excellent, and was surprisingly easy given the badge on the front typically means NOTHING is quick simple and easy!

I hav the exact color exterior-interior Executive GT 4.7 from 2009 with 39k miles n runs great. Maintenance is NOT toyota price but i lov it. Had mine since new n wil keep it for much longer. Them Pinifarina lines are amazing after 11 years!

Great review. Had a 139 for 2 years. Sold last year and regretting it. Had 4.2 with duo select and always drove manual/sport which suited the car. Going to buy another.

I love my late model ZF boxed GTS. Handsome, reliable, and the sound....!

Tim, I absolutely love the sound of the Quattroporte at 0:26 when it up shifts and then later decelerates. You hit the rev limiter perfectly and shifted just in time to make it sound pretty close to the manual Quattroportes. Also, that sharp Ferrari sound is impeccable and is apparently hard to achieve with cars like the GranSport/4200GT due to how their exhaust differs. Do you still have the full raw unedited B roll without music over it? I'd really appreciate if you could upload that as is or within a compilation. Cheers

This color say all about the simplicity of a beautiful style! Ciao a tutti da Zurigo 🌶️🌹😎

Great video. And thanks for the best youtube content on these special Italian cars.

The door handle has a manual unlock as well for if the battery dies , the electric would not open the door .. one of the best maseratis ever made is that ZF 07-12 QP

Thank you for the video!

Sweet. I have a 2002 Cambiocorsa and a 2007 ZF sport gt in my garage as well.

Great episode ❤️

Excellent video of one of the best sedans out there! The automatic version is really the one to have and that colour bordeaux pontteveccio is wonderful.

You are amazing man, I just got QP 08 sport GT as your but could tell me which one is sport GTS? bcz on the door they said Sport GT? and someone call it Sport GTS...... second question : did you repaint your QP? why your car color really sexy 3rd question : how you got this exhaust sound ? which brand did you use

That color is incredible

Nice video. I’ve owned these two cars at the same time and sold both on the same day.

FYI 2011-12 qp has upgraded cam variators from the factory. :-)

Love the Mas, you're right about the GS in the back ther. I owned an 03 Spyder GT manual..what a great car!

You know brother I liked you immediately, Like bumping into a long not seen cousin or something. I loved your description but incredibly this manner of describing the ethnicity of the car which was going so well would've notched up by a mad multiple if you had indeed bought one of the manual cars and not just learnt how to drive it but learnt how to ride it. I just know that you would`ve loved it. Just by what comes over by what you know is important in a car. I insist you would`ve loved it broth. As it is, you missed out on the so organic multi-task. Like while on a huge beast you find yourself instinctively sing multiple spur jabs of the belly with your riding boots, multiple tugs on the rains, some deft, some harsh, subtlety disguised aggression, you lean back, lean forward, all that which goes with a galloping horse that once in full flight is its own reward. The auto is like any other cars auto and you drive like you "drive" any other car but the f1 gearbox is something enthusiasts will gladly own this car for. I once read it described as an organ player playing Puccini or at least that's what it would look like to your friends and family. As you do multiple things to create multiple bellows from the exhaust. The sound of the overrun on the downshift its so dark so sinister it`s those lower registers on the organ, those bass notes designed for the baritone of the opera, whatever musical piece is being played has just got darker. When you do it just right Brother I can't tell you how addictive that is, it`s a thousand times more addictive than the WOT on the run up through the revs through tunnels you well described.

Hello I love this video. How much did you pay for the pro exhaust?

another video well done! I like your description of reality, in your videos you describe things the way they really are doesn't matter what car you're featuring. I am Italian...I love luxury cars and Italian cars of course! i am so debating about getting a Mercedes S Class or a Maserati Quattroporte.... I work on my own cars so I am not scared to work on any brands ...I have worked on Mercedes, BMW, diesel engines, Audi s....etc. I think I will go for the Maserati this time... a nice 07 with a ZF auto transmission

Epic!!!!!!!

Quattroporte my dream 😍

Not those interior plastics! I mentioned in my comment on your GranSport video that we have two M139 Quattroportes in the family, and that means I've had to detail the sticky plastics on them both. It's a total nightmare and it's honestly a shame, considering how such a fantastic car was let down some in a very simple and easily avoidable way. There certainly should have been a class-action lawsuit over it. However, since the only thing to do about it was clean it myself, that's what I did. There is a name-brand product from Indonesia (I think), called Sticky Melting Solution, but plenty of household cleaners will work just fine. On the first Maserati, I dealt with it by way of using that [expensive] product; on the second Maserati, I tried make-up-removing wipes and Windex-the latter of which I chose for its ammonia content. The second time around, I had much better luck with the buttons: I had learned from my initial attempt, and I also happened to be working with buttons whose rubber coating was far more melted than that of the buttons in the first car. The only thing that gave me grief was that certain parts (in particular, panels and other pieces of trim) had a coating too thick to fully remove. For instance, that plastic flip-up cover over the cigarette lighter required from me *15 minutes* of wet sanding (for which I had to remove the piece from the car), and an eventual repaint. I'd have done this for all such panels, but some of them would require major disassembly of certain components. I had to leave the stickiness on the bezels around the rear window shades, and I also had to leave it around the window switches. (I was able to clean the buttons themselves, but the surrounding plastic was just not cleanable.) Either way, I totally transformed both cars-the second one, especially: my brother's car. After cleaning all the sticky buttons, repainting a few pieces, vacuuming the carpets, washing the exterior; doing a cleaning/conditioning of all leather surfaces, and performing a painstaking and meticulous agitation and cleaning of all the seats, I had around 20 personal hours sunken into the detailing. Totally worth it, though, to see the interior now! I'd love to share pictures, if there's some way I can.

Ciao From Australia . Hey Tim, Just found you fantastic Chanel. I have been into BMW of all M kind but want to go back to my Italian heritage. Would you choose a 3200 twin turbo over the grand sport ? What’s faster and cheaper to maintain? What sounds better with a modded exhaust. I found a nice grand sports with a new clutch but i am petrified of the water pump , oil cooler repair, I hear it’s like 10 k aud to do?. Alternatively the quotroporte looks and sounds even better than the grand sports and my mechanic said he can tune it for an extra 30 hp. Help me bro if u have time to reply 😬So confusing what to chooses. many thanks. Dante.

You can get the duo select tuned and it spends it home. The 4.2l is a dry sump.

How the Italian make a so special sound for the supercars? Comes from the engine(motor)?

I love the E60 M5 and this generation of the Quatroporte. To say the M5 isn’t fast is silly though. Maybe you got a lemon. Your example of the Maserati is perfect spec.

@Tim's Enthusiast Garage I am about to pull the trigger on a 07 M139 Maserati Quattroporte with ZF transmission with 52k miles. Believe it is an Executive GT. Has four zone climate (clue I have) The car had two previous owners always serviced at two dealers Auto Gallery and Ferrari/Maserati Newport Beach. I come from BMW M cars and the price of $16.5k is just too cheap to pass it up. I am getting a mobile PPI done tomorrow (wish I had time to get it to a Maserati independent) and flying to LA on Friday to buy it and drive it back to Las Vegas. Any thoughts, tips to look for before pulling the trigger.

How do you get the sticky off the buttons, I just purchased a 2010 Maser Quattroporte S Executive GT , trying everything to take it off and not the white. What actually works, tried makeup wipes, alcohol wipes it's on so thick. Please help.

The best color for Maseratte

Link to the exhaust set plz

I really want one of these to use as an actual beater, but service costs would crush that 😂

can you do a more detailed gransport review?

Are these reliable

Do you still own this car today?

Er, excuse me you said "the e60 M5 1:47 wasn't fast, 1:48 didn't sound great, wasn't comfortable." The M5 is not a limousine if you want comfort buy a Bentley, but the M5 with EDC is better than the 550i without. Perhaps you didn't set the iDrive to p500 and never adjusted the gearshift to 5 bars or didn't use the gears to go above 3,000rpm. The M139 QP is a beautiful car, but it only has 4.2L with 395 and the 4.7 barely more. The e60, e61 or e63 are ruthlessly efficient driving machines that with do 200 and out brake and run rings around a Maserati, sounding super fantastic doing it.

OK. I came very close to pulling the trigger on one of these in 2011. I went with a 2005 XJR instead. My main reason for going the jag route was the motors. The Maser needs to rev. That's a blessing and a curse, especially for a "daily". I found myself dreading the gasoline bills with extended QPorte ownership. Sure is a looker though, especially the interior. And that exhaust note! You make a great argument, to the point where I started shopping for QPorte's on Autolist! Wouldn't it be fun to produce a comparison video between this car and a 2008 XJR?

hi mate, may I know what’s your Qp model? GTS? could you give me your Email I sent you my QP photos and tell me what’s my model :( I got confused

i love this car so much that I hate it

BM M5 is dumb bruh...good choice...I have a Maserati QuattroPorte... beautiful car

Anyone from the whole of humanity LOVES the 5 series, it's the daddy of saloons and the E60 M5 is the masterpiece of masterpieces and this Goliath of a man didn't like it??? I've been driving a 5 series (E39 and E60) for almost 20 years now I wouldn't drive anything else

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about these cars🤷🏼‍♂️

I just bought one, it’s shit .
