The car
About this car in Florence
Plenty of people who stay in Florence for work have a meeting in Bologna at some point, and the M3 Competition offers a choice of routes. The A1 is quick and predictable; the old SS65 over the Futa Pass, the historic Mille Miglia road, takes longer and is far more rewarding. With 530 hp from the twin-turbo straight-six and 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, the saloon covers the Apennine bends with authority while staying comfortable for a passenger.
Skyscraper Grey keeps the car sober enough for client dinners and hotel forecourts, and the four-door body takes bags and colleagues. On a free afternoon, the SR222 heads south through the Chianti to Greve and Panzano; on a free day, Siena is an hour away by the motorway link, with parking outside the walls because the old centre is a limited traffic zone.
Winter tyres are on in the cold season, so a January business trip is covered. The Pitti Uomo weeks in January and June are when demand in Florence peaks, so reserve well ahead. The ZTL inside the viali is enforced by cameras: plate registration with your hotel's garage, or a handover at Firenze Peretola, Pisa Galileo Galilei or Santa Maria Novella, sorts it out.
- 530 hp saloon for business and pleasure
- The Futa Pass as an alternative to the motorway
- Book early during Pitti Uomo weeks
