Looking for a new daily runner

and was thinking originally of an M3 but the wife thinks they look like high school kids cars. so now am thinking of a CL500/600/55 2003+

looking for opinions (pro/con) of those that have owned or currently own one.

i am sure the 500 would be plenty to run back and forth to work in and still have enough get up and go while rollin on the freeway.

the prices on the 500's look good and seen quite a few that are cpo.

thanks for your thoughts

I vote for the 03+ CL500. Very nice body style and it will be a classic too.

agreed on the extended warranty. that is the only way i will own a higher priced benz. Luckily I have 5 more years on my E.

thanks for the responses.
