Beauty and the Beast pictures...
I guess the SL55 would be the beast?
So far I am loving the SL55. As some of you know I had a fully loaded 2007 Corvette Z06 2LZ for 700 miles before I sold it and bought the 1 owner 20K mile 2004 SL55. If I was 15 years younger, the Z06 would have been perfect.. but for now it was just too brute for my taste at this point in time.
And the BMW 760Li replaced our 1996 Bentley Turbo R:

Good Move !
As a previous owner of a Cadillac XLR-V (basically a fancy corvette) I agree that the SL55 not only gives you sportiness, but that the vettes can't compare in the luxury dept. The SL is the best of both worlds. Congrats

Really I miss nothing about the Z06... the Z06 was unrefined, loud, bumpy, low, and uncomfortable for the most part. The touch screen Navigation is probably the only thing I miss.
Other than that, I can modify this SL55 to be just as fast as the Z06 and be far happier while driving it

I had 760Li Individual 2004... nice car, very comfortable... but 50% of time it was in service!!! lots of things that went wrong!!!
I have SL55 AMG 2007, very nice car... I would say a perfect sports car!
Nice cars you have!!! good luck !

SL55, ML500, GT3 RS, 997C2S
It sure is not in league with my GT3 RS but the SL55 beast would suprise the hell out of you on a road course or slalom course. Dainty it ain't but my SL55 beast dances quite well as it punishes it's P zeros.
OT but I will be taking it to autox later this summer.
Enjoy you're new 04 SL55 ride. I almost pulled the trigger on a yellow z06 but went for a black 997C2S instead. More uber.

But SL is a GT cruiser, not a sport car.
