50 undecided car shoppers

WOJ where are you?

hmmm hard choice but i think i would go for the mercedes....

Ehh let's say I know what I'm talking about. Motorsport baby.

sl 500 all the way

I am a Pinto fan personally. AHHHH!

You were living good with one of these back in the 70's!

06 m3 , fully loaded convertible, I like the brand new factor.

SL for sure :thumbsup

hmmm so it seems so far sl500 is the winner.

I personally like the fact that in M3 you can fit 4 people :)

I am thinking the best choice all around would be a 2004 - 2005 m3.. where it has already dropped majority of its value, however it is very rare to find this car in Alpine white.. so I need to be patient.


All around a good buy.


Comments?

Heres what you should keep in mind....

SL500- the SL class from MB does at least 10 years before the body style is changed. Its fast as hell and handles like a dream (cant believe i just said that lol, im not a bez fan but its true.)

The M3 - the M3 will have a new body style out with a new engine (rumored to be the old M5s V8) by summer of 07 the latest! Ive owned an M3 and they really live up to the rep, amazing cars.

Im a BMW fan to the fullest. But judging by the facts, Id go with the SL. Your not getting any less of a car and its not going to change for at least another 7 years so you wont feel like you got jiped. :2 cents:

Comments? You just had 58 comments of which 50 people suggested the SL. And you want comments?

You want another page of people suggesting the SL?

You're right,not a lot of used ones out there.This was the only one I found on a quick search.

Both white? I would go looking into other cars.

Maybe he wants comments from people that actually have experience with either car.Of that 50,did anyone actually own one?

ive never owned a SL but have driven the SL500, SL 55 and the new SL 65 on plenty of occasions. I owned a M3 and that was solid as fuck.

I've never owned an SL either,and of the 50 who commented I stand behind my comment.I have an M3 now,It's an 03'smg. My experience with it has been mostly positive.But after a while the smg got boring.It's not really a good automatic,and it's too harsh as a manual.

Yea overall the M3 is awesome. Im not a fan of automatics even tho SMG is the fastest shifting automatic so far. I think the harshness and stuff could be due to the fact that its a 2003 and its only the 2nd year they were ever made because usually, Beemer tranies are very good.

Did you get it brand new??

2003 x 2006 = I'd take 2006.

:)

What about an Audi S4 convertible....

To bad they are 114.000USD here :S

Yes,I had a 330i before the M3(it was new).My car had all the softare upgrades last year when they did the rod bearing recall.It did smooth it out a bit.But even so,under full power it shifts fast but slams the car much to hard.

go with the M3, those look good in red or black.

Lol, its funny how you went from a 330i to a M3. I went from an M3 to a 330Ci (what i currently drive). After loosing my license and paying about 4k in tickets I had to chill the fuck out. :Oh crap


Whats even worse is, I got pulled about a year ago in the 3 series doing like 95 comin back from SD at 3am. I was 2 exits from my house!!! That cost me one month suspended license and $1600. :disgust

sl 500 for sure

just in the process of flipping my coin now!

Drive them both, and choose the one that you like the best/
