SLK 350 over 3.0si?
Yes hello,
There has been an idea in my mind for about a month now. Would you sell your Z4 3.0si for SLK 350 post facelift?
The thing is, my friend's got one and its a really cool car, it is faster and sounds better when you push it to the max. But still my hearth says Z4 looks much better, but my mind is telling me try SLK.

sounds better is debatable, v6 vs straight six, yes its probably quicker, but as you say, it looks like a haidressers car! A squished down SL, very problematic too that shape your looking at, i wouldnt bother.

I found the newer slk's a bit over designed, personally if I was looking for an slk it would have to be a slk 32 amg, not many about but did see a low mileage one recently for sale with performance cars for about £14k. 0-60 in under 5 seconds and they sound amazing

Not sure the SLK 32 AMG was under 5 seconds to 60mph but I think the SLK 55 AMG that replaced it was...just. Depends if you are happy with auto too as no manual option as far as I am aware.

I am sorry but a bloke in an SLK doesn't look right to me.

the SLK has a metal folding roof - big plus point, but they do tend to be driven mostly by women. I prefer the pre face lift too. I did have a phase when I considered a 350. I believe the cabin isn't the best place to be - bit uncomfortable and flimsy, although I've never sat in one let alone driven one

Slk is no sports car IMHO. More in the E89 vane. Comfy, torque rich GT, likely to cost more to run than a 3ltr E85. No comparison in the looks dept. So would stick with the Zed here.

They say all men have a feminine side, no shame in that.
Ok, maybe it is a bit shameful

SLK 350 over 3.0si?
When I road tested the Z4 35i the garage also had an SLK 55 AMG
The Z4 was definitely more comfortable and roomy, when I put the seat right back in the merc my head hit the roof.
The quality of the interior was also a disappointment compared to the Z4
Hence I have decided Z4 35i is the way to go
