Opinions please!!
I will be adding to my AMG collection now my 911 is sold.
I am torn between an SLK55 and an E55.
Who here has owned both and what are your thoughts?
I realize 2 very different cars. I already have a CLK55 and an S320.
So do I need a convertible or a really fast sedan?

Thanks for posting this up b/c I was looking at some SLK 55's. I want something a little "sportier" and "throwable" into corners.
As an E55 owner I will miss the brute force of a S/C V8, and the E55 is a very comfortable car!

I say go with the E55, so you can experience the 55 kompressor engine. It's one of the best engines ever built and I think everybody should at least try it once in their lifetime. Plus, you can later mod it for even more power. It won't feel as sporty as your CLK55 around the track, but it's still a lot fun on the track.

'06 E55, '05 SLK55, a few others
The SLK is a fun car, but just too small. If a convertible is what you want, compare the SLK and SL. A used SL55/65 can be had pretty cheap and is way more car than the SLK. The SLK will however, turn heads like a SLR. I'm almost invisible in the E55.
