    Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG vs BMW Z4 M

    AMG: 355 horsepower, 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, V8 powered, 7-speed AUTO transmission (wtf?), 3397lb, $61 500. M: 330 horsepower, 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds, 6-speed manual transmission, M3 CSL brakes (18" rotors), 8000rpm redline, beats the M3 lap times on Nordschleife, 3295lb,$49 955. I'd go for the Beamer ;1

    And I doubt it has 18" brake discs...

    haha very true but i voted for it.. I mean i had too, have you seen how beautiful the car looks and the sound that baby makes..it's such a cruiser..there are no tracks in toronto so when i consider a car i look for open road fun, not lap times.

    I prefer the Z4M Coupe to the SLK55, which I prefer to the Z4M Roadster.

    Which is why I would have the Merc, it could be used as a daily driver.

    keep in mind that the Benz is 5.5 liters, which makes it a gas guzzler, and the Beamer is lighter and is only 3.3 liters. I'd vote Benz for styling though...

    If I could afford an SLK 55 do you think I'd care about mpg?

    hoot's right, and with 5.5 litres to start off with you're gonna have an easier time tuning it if you choose to ... not that anyone actually mods these cars ... well neone with half a brain newayz

    Ever heard of Brabus? Or Kleemann? They might disagree with. As might that Saudi bloke
