deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) It was only a year ago when these were still 75k - 100k 2nd hand. This one ticks all the boxes, 350kw and 700nm 0-100 in about 4 and a half seconds lol... quicker than a E60 BMW M5? Great toy...

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I like their looks. But the reliability 10 years on would be my worry.... being that that era of MB had some quality issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 It's the wheels and colour on this one that I don't like personally, I'd prefer red or silver and the standard spoked wheels... I've always liked this shape, metal roof so no compromises. I imagine that once all of you jumped in and experienced 700nm and the whine from a supercharger that you'd all change your minds lol. I've been in one and they are pretty amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 No issues with the performance with these, however when I got to drive one I couldn't believe how bad the build quality was! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 No issues with the performance with these, however when I got to drive one I couldn't believe how bad the build quality was! I can believe that, my old CLK55 AMG which was about 200k new build quality was like a Toyota Corolla but heaps of buttons but a lot of plastic and painted plastic. Not good on a car worth that much new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 477 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 I have an S55AMG on SL65 gunmetal alloys sitting in the garage (373kw, 730nm according to the handbook), '04 done 90ks you can have for less than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I drove one of these around south west aus one day and I'm sorry but it was f**king incredible. Oh and I think they look good from behind, the headlights are just a bit odd from the front. But from behind is where most of the seeing is done Edited April 26, 2012 by maxmax Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted April 28, 2012 Just go for the E55 AMG. Same motor. Better looking. And IMO no BMW comes close to one. Just beware of the Jap imports that are flooding the market. AMG's need to be serviced. Something that just doesn't happen in Japan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
