Changes in SLK 98-01
Can anyone give me the details of what was changed on the SLK between 1998 and 2001? I know that the side mirror integrated turn signals were added in '01 but that's it. I am considering a used purchase and would like to know before going to look at a ton of cars.
Thanks.
Thanks.

03' SLK230 get the red line bumped up to 6,200 RPMs, i don't know how this helps the 0-60's times, but with the 5,800 RPM red line it take 2 shifts to make 60.

I'll probably update it when the model year is over, but I think the only changes from 2002 were two new exterior colors.

Don't forget the updated transmission hardware/software in the SLK 32 AMG. Not officially listed (part#'s are the same) but it's a significant change.

Also, the significance is relative. Owners might say it's significant, but I'm quite sure that Mercedes-Benz would not.
