i fancy one, does anyone rate them or should i stay clear.same engine as c32amg, 354 horses should put a smile on my face.£25 grand used.reliable or not?

 

I asked the same question about 3 weeks ago and only got one reply....I don't think many people have owned one which either means:-

a) Its so bad they wouldn't waste their money
b) They didn't like the potential assumption they were a 'scissormeister' ehehehe
c) People wanted something more Arghhh arghhhh in yer face Sti/Evo-tastic like

It does 0 - 100 in M3 kinda time so its surely gotta put a bit of a on the
old mush ?

 

cheers mate,i tried the s2000 but it didnt give me that f-kin hell feeling in the acceleration department.maybe cause the car was 50grand new its been overlooked.

 

Could be that the average SLK driver didnt want 350 bhp, the 197 was more than adequate for trips to John Lewis and for lunch at a bistro, used to be one on the end of our road (the AMG one), I decided it was cool because it was such a beast that looked like a girly car, the owner sold it and bought a 911 and now one of the new Bentleys.

 

F*ckin awesome. Don't expect BMW handling but it is a very rapid car that stops and goes and to a point turns very well. I had a 230K SLK modified to 255bhp.

Throw a set of Carlsson shocks and springs on and it makes this motor superb.

Was considering one of these to replace my 230k SLK but fancied a change so got an XKR Convertible instead. Totally different motor but I like it
