No stock in Canada for the M coupe.. =[
But they have roadsters, strange?

Personally I think the M coupe looks way better. How about a M3, big deals on 2008's out there.

What kind of deal are you getting on the M roadster? They are about the same price.

Prices are different i guess?

Hmm, strange choices. You're saying you're going to trade in the 350Z, and you already have a 530i? Can understand that you would want a Roadster, but I don't understand the ML. It's the opposite of a sports car......

I would advise the 335i (Coupe or Cabrio) with the new dual-clutch transmission. Great all-round car and drives MUCH better than an SLK (hairdressers car imo). The M Roadster is the best hard-core Roadster, but you do have to realize that it's really hard-core!

guys we're settling down for the inferior mercedes.

Its either the new facelifted ML or maybe a possibility of the c63.
We've decided to halt the dealing until May, so we'll see how BMW and Mercedes will react to the market.
But those two are on the list right now.

Don't kick me

Everybody has right to his/her own (bad) taste

It sounds like you're not completely behind the Merc choice? Why are you deciding for a Merc then?

meh its worth the price tag.
The ML is cheaper than the X5, heated seats power seats roof paddle shift and a couple other things come standard.
Even though im a big bmw fan , i cant help it to say that it is much better of a deal to get the ML over an x5.
Oh... did i mention the new COMMAND system thats way better than the inferior i-drive? =(
Plus the facelifted ML is pretty darn nice

The c63 is like $10,000 cheaper than the m3 here.
I drove one personally and i like it. (i prefer m3 but meh)
And its a sedan, it is more convenient in most cases.

There are other factors but meh these are of main concern.
I dont wanna type an essay here
