I~LUV~Caddys8792 04-09-06, 01:54 AM Brand new SLK? Then the SLK. danbuc 04-09-06, 02:56 AM SLK hand's down. The new 171 chassis is much, much nicer than the Z4. Sure BMW may even have the new Z4 M model, but the SLK55 would still blow it away. The SLK looks nicer, and overall is a much better car in terms of quality and craftsmanship. To me, the Z4 is just a warmed over Z3. Sure it's different, but is it different enough? The new SLK on the other hand, couldn't be more differnet than the previous 170 model. Jesda 04-09-06, 06:41 AM The new SLK, absolutely. That weird Mclaren nose has grown on me much more than Bangle's flamer styling. Two words: AIR SCARF! SpeedyArizona 04-09-06, 10:03 AM If you're a guy, I'd say the BMW Z4 M. If you're a woman, then the SLK500. The BMW is a more masculine car while the SLK500 is more of a "chick" car. I know BMW has had a lot of problems with the convertible top on the Z4, you better watch out for that. CIWS 04-09-06, 10:51 AM The problem with the Z4 M is it's starts at the 51,000 price range +options. If I was going to get a Z4, it would only be the M version, but it's beyond what he's talking about. I looked at the SLKs before going with the V, but in the end I wanted the AMG (engine HP), and the SLK 55 has the AMG motor, but if you want the AMG package that's another 7000.00 + options. M.B. can kiss my grits to sell me an AMG car and then want another 7K for the AMG package. :rant2: Elvis 04-09-06, 01:16 PM If you're a guy, I'd say the BMW Z4 M. If you're a woman, then the SLK500.

I couldn't agree more. slk230mb 04-09-06, 01:29 PM The SLK, but you knew that right? JonathanH 04-09-06, 05:00 PM yeah thanks for your answers, id go for the slk too but from what i seen it looks kinda small. i dont know, it has the same lenght as the z4 yet it looks kinda small, can anyone confirm that? jonnyd 04-09-06, 10:31 PM `zup. do you like the mercedes slk 500 or the bmw z4 roadster more? what would you choose if you could? theyre both around 30-40 grand so no difference. Are you kidding me!?!?!? I would def get the SLK 500 over the z4.....no contest:thumbsup: Night Wolf 04-09-06, 11:04 PM hmmm... I can't even picture either of them in my head.... .....nor do I have a desire for either of them.... I'll invest the money in some real estate :).

The chick car is quicker and handles better. soupero 04-10-06, 12:10 PM the SLk ofcourse, Z4 has nothing on the 500 JonathanH 04-10-06, 04:04 PM what you guys think of the slk 200? its the same size only less power but i dont care about power so i will go for that if i go for slk. Devil_concours 04-10-06, 08:18 PM SLK350 v Z4 2.5.... SLK350 SLK350 v Z4 3.0.... Z4 3.0 SLK55AMG V Z4 M.... Z4 M I don't think there is any slk500 available. Z is more of a drivers car than slk gothicaleigh 04-10-06, 08:42 PM hmmm... I can't even picture either of them in my head....

One of the Bangle designs that I actually like. JonathanH 04-11-06, 10:30 PM little update: i went to a mercedes partner today who had a huge showroom with dozens of cars and had a look at the slk 200 today. im not so impressed, its a real small car and like the guy said, its more of a female car. but i also saw an SL (500 i think) today and what a bitch of a car i have to say. its longer than the slk and also a roadster. but priced at 107 grand it just blows my budget limits. for now. | |
