Mercedes SLK55 AMG vs. BMW Z4 M Roadster

Simply on public gone we saw taking the Mercedes SLK55 AMG it already a time against the BMW M3 CSL, always well for the necessary discussion, we have seen. The German magazine engine Vision made this time an comparison between SLK55 the AMG and the BMW Z4 m. coupĂ©. With regard to performances auto’s the right to each other, almost exact on paper, is, but goes that in practice also?
Of course this type comparisons is nice to, particularly look at when you a supporter is correctly of the one mark or of the other mark. However here too the differences overall are not already too large, as a result of which it will arrive again on taste and personal emotion. Eventual is that frequently nevertheless some that there does really.
Although I Mercedes and BMW both find attractive marks, my preference goes nevertheless from to SLK55 the AMG. This car with its steels stole fold roof radiates much more class from than Z4 m. with z’n substances dakje. Tel thereby on the superb lines of the SLK and then hoef I it once more to have concerning the interieur, because here too the SLK win it what concerns me largely. In short: brutally in style! In comparison Z4 m. then a nicely sport-loving caddie is. I weet that enough people are there that it with they will not once be, but happy life we in a free country
You already too much effort for German, understand look then just as to small film mentioned below and draws your own conclusion does not have to (if you that had not yet done).

Translated from Dutch!

Z4M the sportier one, SLK55 the luxury one

Z4M
+engine
+ handling
+weight
+sound
-preis

SLK55
+engine
+sound
-weight
-fuel consumption
-preis

(all + and - I remember from the review) SLK55 had most - but won the comparison. Winning or loosing Z4M is still my choice

Well, not to hi-jack the thread and go OT, bottom line is i want to get something exotic, Lambo/Ferrari/FordGT... If i can get it for the price i want i would have got it already but i cant find the color or combo i want, and im not willing to settle, but for me it would only be good for two more months and then sit in the garage till March. Dont really feel like paying $3000 a month plus ins. for a car that i cant drive for half a year. Basically in March i would just get a Lambo/Ferrari/FordGT no more what. My company owns a Ford store so i can get one at invoice. But i really want F1/Egear like shifting, not stick. So i might just wait it out. Its killing me, i REALLY miss my CL55, plus i passed up a 2005 CL65 with only 86 miles on it, for $105K. If something comes along nad its a steal im on it! But im not splurging just so i can drive a car for two more months and put it away for half a year. I rather be patient, and just gor for the F430 spyder or something hot in February/March. Just seems like the smart thing too do, but my friends who have Lambos and Ferraris are all saying i should just get the Ford GT. Too much money to play with, i really want to just get what i want and the way i want it. Then i wont feel bad paying an extra $20K or so for such a purchase.
