Although I currently have a CLK320 I have owned BMWs'

I would buy a BMW.

In addition easier/less expensive maintainability, better reliability....they just much more fun to drive and the factory/dealer customer satisfaction experience is better as well.

One of the things I really liked about the BMW was that straight 6 was easy to work on (plenty of room) and very good shop manuals were available the DIY.

If you're in NA, consider joining the BWM club. BMW really supports the club and you will get discounts on parts and the owner loyalty program offers a $500 - $1500 discount on the purchase of a new BMW. The local chapters are very active with social. technical and racing events.
