  MIE Corp. Biturbo Buyers Guide
But the Biturbo is largely forgotten - perhaps it's because the cars had a reputation for fragility when they were new, and with a price tag of £26,000 (US$37,076) people opted for a 944 or M3 instead.
The areas most affected are the bottoms of the doors, the tail edge of the bootlid and the leading edge of the bonnet and front wings, which are vulnerable to stone chips.
Biturbos are notoriously tail happy, and over the years many have done some off roading.

The Biturbo range was introduced in 1982 with the first coupe - simply known as "Biturbo" the name taken from the two turbochargers (two smaller turbines exhibit less lag for the same boost) used to increase engine output.
They certainly have a point with the 3200GT as it uses an entirely new floorpan and suspension setup and even the engine (based on that used in the Quattroporte Ottocilindri and originating in the Shamal) is so heavily revised that few parts are interchangeable.
In terms of build quality and advanced technology these cars were a distinct improvement over the earlier cars with the quality of the very latest cars built from 1998 onwards capable of comparison with the very best that BMW or Mercedes can produce.

 1986 Maserati Biturbo Spyder comments
The biturbo idea adds a lot of horsepower and I enjoy getting the turbos to ramp up for the take off, but the rear end shutters and feels like it is going to break, so you I really don't feel like doing many burnout's.
So what is so cool about this car, well it rides really nice with the top up or down, the interior is a couple of hides of inexpensive leather installed just about everywhere except the gauge shroud, which is cheap Fiat vinyl which rotted away after a year.
The engine is now on a stand, and I think it would be fun to get the car running again, except I don't have the time, and I could go out and buy a running Biturbo for far less than it would cost me to fix mine.

 BMW 325e vs MASERATI BITURBO - SportsCarForums.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
If you parked the BMW 325e next to the Maserati Biturbo and examined a list of their features, you would conclude that these two sports sedans make for a demands-to-be-done comparison test.
It should come as no great surprise, then, that the Bimmer will accelerate briskly away from the Biturbo for the first 300 ft. but then the Italian car's turbos get to work (at 2500-3000 rpm) and the Maserati sails on by, reaching 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, while the BMW takes 8.9.
The difference is that the 325e engine runs smoothly at any speed, while the Maserati has an occasional display of temperament: rough idle and a bit of stumbling on initial throttle input and under heavy, high-rev loads.
