HERE'S WHAT I THINK

MERCEDES-BENZ vs. BMW -- Which ROADSTER is for YOU?

I've heard the debate FOR YEARS! You're a fan of either MERCEDES-BENZ and BMW! If you love one of these, you don't change-over to the other side ... E-V-E-R! Now I attest to this debate as you see I've become a MERCEDES-BENZ supporter since I purchased my SLK-230 KOMPRESSOR ROADSTER some 6 years ago! I love this sexy car!

P.S. Thanks to all of you wonderful friends and visitors who took time to participate in this debate and xoxoxo to those who left 5 stars.

HEY Monkeybrain, take a CLOSER look at that car!!!

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right! MERCEDES-BENZ rocks!

carpe-diem says:

Let's go for the yellow one hands down...

Jack2205 says:

I don't have either one, but I like Mercedes-Benz better.

Steve Tay - Malaysia says:

The look on any BMW cars arent attractive and worst of all they wouln't last long and never will they be classics or worth any money when they aged...sorry...Mercedez outdo BMW in lasting looks, reliability and any Mercedez classics worth $$$ I am a owner of SL320 and SLK200...lovely sports luxury cars...:-)

Steve Tay says:

Mercedez Benz!

says:

Hard to choose. But I like more the Benz.

Mel Brooks says:

Go Mercedes!

Squidster says:

Daimler-Benz invented the automobile! They obsess over every detail to make it the best possible. They are leaders in design trends and new technology development, while BMW is the eternal follower, always at least one step behind. I'd rather choose a used Mercedes over a brand new BMW any day!

AMK says:

Thats hilarious! I mean that you would compare the elitenes of mercedes to BMW Mercedes Benz rocks. The only negative part is the cost of the car and the cost to repair. BMW in itself has some very good rivals and less expensive too. That makes it apealing, But in all reality Mercedes is way ahead as long as yo can aford it! I have to say this though: My brother inlaw is one of the top bosses in Norway for Mercedez benz. Guess where my car comes from? :-)

mywebgal says:

Mercedes... I love that my car sports a peace symbol!

JaguarJulie says:

Vroom, vroom ... the weather is looking mighty nice today, I might have to put that top down and tool around town. Love my car!

giltotherescue says:

An M3 is a little bit beyond my pay grade, so I'll take a C230 for now.

yourmercedes says:

MB All the Way! For sure.

JaguarJulie says:

OMG! There are so very very many excellent remarks on both sides of the HMB debate for making a case for Mercedes-Benz and for BMW. Yes, quite a while ago when the Z-3 came out, I was one of those putting fingerprints all over the driver window taking a look at the insides of that baby and one of our friends wanted one so bad that they ultimately bought a used one. I'll occasionally see that Z-3 pull up at work, but my little yellow SLK-230 Kompressor is still better looking!

KelleyEidem says:

It's gotta be a Benz because apparently BMW's don't have rear view mirrors...which helps to explain the way the operators drive.

Kelley ;-)

says:

nurses pick benzes... :)

No way, Monkeybrain! It's BMW!

BrandMovingwheels says:

Mercedes Benz'es owners are most proud outside the car - while Bmw owners smile while they're driving... Mercedes'es makes furniture - when will the world wake up...? And when did a mercedes get in to the top 10 list for driving experiences??? Its a hole bunch of cars like Alfa's, Porsches - you name it - Mercedes'es are for the people who fancy a straight line...

The Champ says:

They're both rubbish

yoyo says:

yesy

FurRelKT says:

I loved our Beamer~

greg2213 says:

That's a tough choice. The Merc AMGs are drool worthy, but the M series Beemers are pretty awesome too. Since I've never driven a Merc and only one BMW I'm going to vote BMW.

Dave says:

Whatever Gil, move to Jersey and its right back in your pay grade. Atleast you can drive it to work.

AaronW says:

I don't think the best image you can have for your luxury car is to have it as the premiere taxi in Europe. It cheapens your brand. BMW makes the best cars, hand down.

laQabiil says:

Did a Mercedes win the gumball 3000?

No. but a BMW did!

laQabiil says:

Was a beamer Lover. Always a beamer lover.

BMW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mellowd says:

Neither I prefer something a bit bigger like a full size hummer or a big pick up truck. But if I had to choose I guess I would pick BMW.

T. says:

BMW, all the way!

Robert Arvanitis says:

The Mercedes driver says "Don't you like my ride?" The BMW driver says "I like this ride!"

tjwatkinspg says:

BMW never made ovens

ArtistsUnite says:

BMW - it was my first car in driving school and will always be my favorite :D

mike23 says:

The Best Roadsters Ever
I love the roadster as it's a great little car for anyone suffering from a mid-life crisis or whatever . . .

Yes, I must admit that I've owned a couple of roadsters in my life and currently have driven a sunburst yellow Mercedes-Benz SLK-230 Kompressor roadster for five years. As my hubby and I have debated W-H-A-T that next car of mine might be, I've been looking around at other roadsters and am trying to find my next "dream car." Here's a few shots of the SLK-350 ... it's cool, but for me I need a bright color, maybe sunburst yellow?
