they are both sexy cars. it really comes down to driving style, purpose, and preference. if you prefer a car that is all about handling you should by the BMW. they are much better from the factory than the MB. if you like HP you should buy the MB. if you live at the track buy the BMW. if you want an all purpose car that is a blast to drive then you want the 55. see it is simple!

I bought the AMG because i wanted a rear wheel drive V8, two door, and it had to be German.

CLK55 AMG
yea ! m3 is nice but too common on the street.. and mostly is those old chicks with the smg.. unlike clk55......hardly see one.. i was looking for m3 in the first place but the price is not worth for a used car... 27k-28k for high mileages plus new m3 is out.. should be cheaper.. anyways.. i end up choose the clk 55..
