Question W208-CLK430/55 or E46-M3

Which one is a better. Before getting my CLK430, I had an order for a E46-M3 SMG for the same price. I canceled it because I had to wait another 3 months to get it. Should I have waited.

So why did you pay $49,000 for your CLK-320, instead of getting the E46-M3 for the same price?

I couldn't when I bought my car, the E46 M3 wasn't out yet, and the markup is 1k, so cheapest for an M3 would be 60k.

You mean the markup was 10K, right?

i dont know about where you live, but in LA i see about 12 M3's a day, but maybe 1 CLK 55 a month so I would definetly get CLK 55. you live in florida so its probably the same where you live.

CLK 430 Coupe + MGF + 1980 Camaro
which you buuy depends on what you want..

if you want to go fast buy 55 if you want to go really quick and dont care about unreliability buy the m3.. if you want to chill and look good buy a 430 and spend the money you save on 19" and big stereo....

M 3 are everywhere in Vancouver. so I dont like that

But I gotta say it has the horsepower and pretty aggressive look kits on it as standard

And the price is around a 430

So whichever is more important. the HP or the luxury i guess
MB is chick magnet tho or so my friends say anyway :p
