[FVM3]

i went from 08 used m3 to a 09 335i and i wanted to trade in for a 2006 SL500 or SLK55. Wanted to get a convertible but im not a fan of e93. After test driving both SL500 and SLK55 , i would say , BMW FTW. Im not hater of Merc, im a fan of Merc. Always remember that Merc = luxury or performance with not too good handling (AMG), BMW = performance with good handling. If you want something very comfortable and use a finger to turn the steering, go for merc. If u want something with stiff ride, stiff steering but very good handling, go for BMW. I test drove the SLK55 and ya it looks good and its eye catching. but the feel of steering is not as good as BMW. all my words are shit to u. Now go to bmw dealer and test drive the 335i. Besides convertible and riding quality, 335i is much better. also the interior of slk is pretty bad, 335i is much better. The seats of slk are really bad , look like the chairs for sale in 99 cents store, very thin. But the outlook is pretty awesome.
