well i do not thnk im the minority, there are more ppl thinkin the 3 series is ugly than you think.
you're joking, right? that's your theory why people buy the 3 series?

no offense, but you're definitely in the minority in thinking the 3 series is ugly.

Last weekend my order came, the CLK500 in white with grey, I was very excited to see it especially since I didn't make up my mind yet between the M3 and the CLK, however I wasn't excited anymore when I saw it in the lot, the body design is a real turn off to me and I prefer the 208 over the 209...on the other hand I loved the interior, it is awesome but I coudn't bring myself to buy the car just for the interior, so in the end I will be getting my 2003 M3 with more options that I had planned on- and I will be saving $2000 compared to the CLK500, it will be coming in December....thanks to everyone at this forum you guys are very helpful...but I think my new home is BMW.....

The inside is definitly beautiful. Replacing the 430 by the 500 is a good move.
as for the outside...
IMO it would look better with soem body kit, or modifications.
BUT I'v never liked the old coupe anyway (i have a cab.), the new one is definitly an improvment IMO. But not quite perfection

Guys,

Michael Jordon drives a DB7 around town (in the nation's capital)..I haven't seen him in a 355 yet. maybe his 355 is in Chicago. I am sure if he can fit in a 355, most of us certainly can..

You guys all suck Hungarian Dick. If you like a car, then great, if you don't, that's great too! But hey, If you can't decide between two cars and it's killing you so much, why not just buy both and quit your wining? M3 VS CLK, there is no comparision, one is a sports car for the guy who likes to rip it up at the traffic light, the Mercedes is for the guy who likes a smooth ride and his arm around his girl.

I don't know about you, but SMG or automatic is better because hey, I want my girl playing with my stick shift, I don't want to play with one all day while I drive! Just give her some Micky and let her squat on that AUTO.

"THE DON" thanks so much for the advice, it really helped and yes I can afford to spend over $100k on two cars, but hey why should I stop there, why don't I throw in an M5 and a CL55, I think thats a good idea, how about you? your a smart guy, I wish I could of that about that all by myself, it almost seems logical.... but I guess thats why your name is "THE DON"
