Went to a couple dealerships... need to make up a decision.
Down to these 3 vehicles, price is not an issue (their prices are similar anyway).
2009 SLK300
2009 ML350 4matic
or
2008 M roadster
They have facelifted the SLK and the ML and i think they're now alot hotter than before.
The M coupe has like an interior hotness rating of 4/10 but its a bmw and im sure the performance is alot better (also the fastest outta the 3 cars)
The SLK 300 has been facelifted, now the front bumper looks like the SLR and they changed up side mirrors - along with bigger size triangular exhaust tips.
The ML also got a facelift, it has LED tailights now along with a hotter frontal cosmetic features (mirrors, bumper etc) - comes with 19" stock // 20" sport rims.
In my opinion,
M coupe is fast
SLK is hot
ML is convenient
I have not driven any of them so i dont have any specific comments on any (maybe ill go for a test-drive later)
What would u guys buy and why?
If you have driven the cars, please feel free to comment on how you feel.

thomas price isnt an issue when it comes to those 3 vehicles only.I looked at a couple slk55 amgs, they're pretty cheap but then i dont want a second hand car and first hand is too expensive.

I see Leon, then I'll go for M Roadster if utility is not what you are looking for.

M roadster, no.
But your picture is of the M coupe. I say hell yes on the M coupe. It is on my radar for my next car.
Have you considered a Porsche Cayman or Cayman S. A great alternative to the M coupe.
