Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
I'll take an M3 anyday thanks. Its the same price as the CLK 320.
I think this car is AWESOME!
Mercedes is kicking some real ass! And mad props to their engineers!

Are you talking about the SMGII? Thats a gearbox. I'd take that or the 6 speed over mercedes semi autos anyday, as good as they are. BMW's straight six VANOS system is bulletproof. Where is all this motor explosion talk coming from?Originally posted by max_boost

please do. I've never really heard of this.
A CLK320 is $59,900. The M3 base price is $73,500, and you'll NEVER get one that cheap.Originally posted by Angisio

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
66 blown E46 M3 motors recorded to date, possibly more from people who do not visit the online car forums! Check it out for yourself:

if you go to mbusa.com they list the CLK 320 at $43kUSD
maybe a couple thousand cheaper for quite a bit less performance. And the M3 wait is only about 4 months now, so i dont know why you think you would have to pay more? that doesnt make a lot of sense
the engine blowing is a concern though, but its all warranty so who cares. Who knows what those people were doing. For the risk i'd still take the M3.
If the M3 was problem free, sure, hell I would take the M3 since it is the better car. But you have got to be crazy! I don't think that many people are doing the same thing to blow up the motor on their cause.Originally posted by Angisio

$15,000 less is not "a couple thousand cheaper". For the price of the M3, I could have an AMG SLK32. Oh, wait...
"It's all warranty so who cares" - that'll be comforting as your $80,000 depreciating asset sits in the service department awaiting a rebuild.

plus tax = approximately $81k
So its maybe $1k cheaper. Thats interesting math you did there though...
For twice the car. I'd take the risk, or wait 6 months until the problem is sorted out.
for that price, i'd much rather have an slk 32 AMG
i'd buy a house, with some money from the bank.
No, YOUR math is the problem. The tax does not even come CLOSE to $10kOriginally posted by Angisio

$71,492.19 x 1.07 = $76,496.64
Thats over $5k cheaper than an M3.
i see this benz everyday here in hong kong... its SWEEET... its better then M3.... who gives two shits about price when your talking about cars this expensive...
