If your spelling and grammar was correct, maybe we would have been more nice to you.

Ok everyone, no need to get disrespectful to one another.
After reading the original post (I'm pretty sure he meant the M was more "peppy" and had more "meat"), here is my suggestion:
MB is about luxury. Although the AMGs come with quite a bit of power (I would say they are more peppy and have more meat than the Ms) we all know that they are not as "fun" in the twistys as a BMW. However, with a few suspension changes, the MBs will show a decent improvement.
The bottom line is this though: If you're not happy with your car for whatever reason, and you feel that a BMW or a Porsche is more to your liking, then go ahead and buy one. You can come to MBWORLD if you are interested in an opinion of a type of car, but don't expect us to "talk you into" keeping your MB. That is entirely your decision.

What car does he own? I read through eveything twice and coudln't figure out if he has a SLK55, a 208AMG or a 209AMG?
Also - I was once told this:
BMW= Performance with Luxury
MB= Luxury with Performance
Kinda makes sense, hope I don't get roasted.
Didnt mean anything by it, just passing along what I heard .

Interesting comment
My Porsche mechanic, who raced a BMW 3.0 CSL, once told me that the easiest way to tell if a car was "working" or not, was to look at how fast it depreciated. Consequently, he suggested that I stay away from BMWs as they just weren't holding their own as to resale value. At the time I was driving a 911E and I ended up selling it for almost what I bought it for. That has been the case with most every Mercedes I have owned. That being said, it really doesn't matter in the short run if you're getting the car for a specific reason - fun, racing, prestige, comfort or whatever. Get whatever you want and enjoy it. If it doesn't work out, keep looking and refine what you want. My signature tells you what's next for me.

I have removed the discussion about HomeRunPark's signature and put them into another thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/off-topic/77426-homerunpark-s-signature.html
This thread is now in the OFF TOPIC section.
Again, sorry about the hi-jack.

HomeRunPark-
The C230 is adequate, I came from a mid-engined 275HP car so obviously the C feels enemic compared to that, but I wasn't going for power. I find that around town the C230 could use a little more power, but on the highway I feel it's got plenty of power. It's never had too little power for me (read- put me in a dangerous situation due to lack of power), but who ever complains about having extra power?
