M6 > SL55 645i < SL500
The 6 is fairly stunning in person but not as much as a SL, but if its an M6 vs SL55.. roles reveresed.
The 5 is goregeous, it grew on me a lot, id take it any day over an E. Driving position is just perfect.. While the E.. I dunno it doesn't feel as good.
The E90 3, is not soo pretty looking.. So im comparing the E46 3 series which is very nice when you have the sports pack..
While the E class, and C class look very subtle, even with sport packs.. or in some cases AMG...
The M's look a lot more agressive, and yet maintain the wolf in sheep's clolthing attitude...
And im not mercedes Biased nor BMW biased.. I just speak the facts.

MB is the king of automobiles. PERIOD.

MB is the best.
Ps. M5 is Fragile lets wait and see how many of them gonna have engine and other problems.
p.s.s Go to roadfly and read how many people have 7 series problems STILL with newer models.
p.s.s.s what the hell are you doing on this board if you are so hardcore BMW fan? coz your dad has ml55, its not reason enough.

im guessing that the kid did not know how to shift in the M3. M3s are fast. there 0-60 is <5 seconds (SMG) taking that it was a 6sp, that could add .3 seconds.
the 0-60 on a G55K is 5.5 (mbz).
so, a kid with not too much 6 speed under his belt would infact loose to a 5.5 second car with his 5 second car. expecially if he does not know his down shifting points.
but any way, those G55K are very very fast!!! and ive lost to one in the SL.

..............you may be interested in this thread. a forum member ran his stock G55K at 13.6 secs in 1/4 mile in 95 degree temp. Really erases any doubt about the mototrend figure 0f 13.2 sec in 1/4 mile and 4.7 sec 0-60.
