How many seats do you need? The SLK is a definite 2-seater with room for a
golf bag. But a stylish solid convertible roof. Two very different cars, I would say. No car is perfect. Do test drives.

What do you mean by newly created? The E46 M3 isn't new, and the E90 M3 isn't coming until 2005. -Russ. |

Well , the M3 is on big advantage , M3 is expensive, but it"s worth it, the SLK 350 is new , but the sport felling is very low compare to M3, the SLK 350 is a great roadster , perfomance are very like ( M3 ( 5,4 ) , SLK 350 ( 5,6 ) ), but the RPM are on a BMW side :-), but i assume that normal car enthusiast woudn"t take any second to think , and to see which is better . -- Live with ideas...........

I have driven both quite recently. Both 2004 models... the Mercedes I drove
was automatic however. Personally i found the noise levels with the convertible top up to be a bit irritating. The new slk350 is spectacular with a great solid feel and sporty sound. plus the new design has killer looks. I am a bmw guy.. but I would pick an slk350 with manual transmission. >>I own a 99 BMW M3 convertible and a, looking to upgrade it to a new car..am >>stuck between a new M3Conv or an SLK350..I know the shortcomings of an >>M3...however to buy a newly created model worries me..My M3has never had a >>thing wrong with it in the 5 years i owned it...any comments?? >> > >You might test drive a BMW Z4 3.0 as the performance should be similar to >your M3 and the storage space is better than the SLK. > >Tom > > > > > > > > |

M3 321 bhp (99") Z4 3.0 231 bhp The numbers are closely similar :-) , but perfomance ? No way -- Live with ideas........... Baluba cucine Novo u Splitu! www.baluba-cucine.com Lovretska 10 |

Also, BMW performance figures seem very conservative. I know and have seen a standard M3 hit 60 in 4.8 and my cab isn't that much slower, unless I have the kids in the back! For me there is no competition, I've never owned an MB but have driven C and E classes and SLs. I'd stick with an M3 any day. |
