2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupe ;)
... Even though i havent actually driven the clk500 i am assuming it to be quite similar to the 430 in performance and comfort (only a 35 hp increase).
That exactly mirrors my point, because the new CLK500 is 300 pounds heavier than the 430, the 35HP gain is insignificant and provides only a fractional acceleration gain.
Therefore, for a step up it's the CLK55 AMG. It's a full second faster than the CLK500 in 0-60 mph acceleration.

That has to be one of the first times I have seen someone put themselves down in their own post!

'02 SLK32 AMG
M3 or CLK500 is a difficult question. Assuming equal reliability, I'd definitely take the M3. However, given all the talk about M3 engine failures, I'm not sure I'd take a M3 at all.

Comparison
Obviously the comparison on performance should be between the CLK55 and the M3 since they have similar performance figures. Comparing the M3 to the 500 isn't comparing apples to apples (the price of the cars is not an issue as the M3 is cheaper but so is a Camaro Z28).
Damn, here goes the whole round and round again. Didn't know so many BMW people still troll the Mercedes board.
I think I should start a new thread with "who has the best advertising campaign, Mercedes or BMW"

Vivian-I won't keep harping on you, but this is pretty funny. Figure it out...
You say:
"Some may say BMW are kid cars
Porsche, Ferrari etc - man with short (you know what) "
Supposedly you own:
"1997Porsche911 gave it 2 my gf's brother for his 2000328
2000Ferrari360"
I guess maybe if you are a woman your post would imply that you are flat chested (hey, I am just reading what you wrote).
