		<description>The BMW 335i is a little more reliable than the Mercedes SLK roadster, it&#039;s has a nicer interior fit, more room, better steering feel, and a much nicer, more powerful, smoother twin turbo inline 6 cylinder engine.

But if you &quot;just want to make the best choice as far as ride and reliability goes&quot;, You should be looking at Japanese. Nothing can compare to a Lexus, Acura or Infiniti.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>are you talking about top speed or acceleration?

Generally the top speed of a car will be limited by aerodynamic drag - I am sure the new challenger is more aerodynamic than the old

the biggest impediment to acceleration is weight, then aerodynamics - I would say the old challenger might have a slight edge here&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>If your two highest points for purchasing this car are ride and reliability, you need to look at a few points.  

I am going to say now that I have heard a lot more information about the 335i, so I will be giving this opinion with a slight bias from what I have picked up via automotive writings.  

But firstly, please test drive both cars to do your own comparisons!  That will ultimately solve your question about how the car rides.  

When it comes to reliability, just know that BMW usually runs a bit higher than M-B in reliability.  I just did a bit of digging, here is what I have come up with.

http://www.thetorquereport.com/jdpowerdepend1.jpg
-Link to JD Power dependability for 2007
(BMW - 182 problems per 100 vehicles, M-B - 212 problems)

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/domestic-models-gain-major-ground-in-consumer-reports/
-Link to autoblog.com about Consumer Reports excerpt about 2007 picks
(BMW - not listed as a good or bad pick, M-B SLK V6 listed as bad pick)

Apparently the engine in the 335i has won a very big award.

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=126116
-International Engine of 2008 award, BMW 3.0 liter twin turbo 6-cyl

Another thing to factor in, 3 series BMWs has a higher sales volume than an SLK due to its target audience (family car vs. sports car, assuming the cabriolet parts are similar to the sedan / coupe).  That will make finding a mechanic and parts easier for you in the future.  

My advice: do not disservice yourself by not testing the BMW 335i.  Perhaps the SLK 350 is better suited for you, that may be the case.  However the 335i has won many awards, and the engine has been acclaimed by many motoring magazines as brilliant.  Although these are all opinionated results of what I have come across, it&#039;s hard to disregard that BMW has a hit with their new 3 series.  Weigh your options, find a great price, and motor on!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=126116

		<description>Even though I have loved Mercedes my whole life while my rival brother loved BMW his whole life, I would still go for the 335i. Also space always comes in handy, plus the Mercedes now days is just for the sake of &quot;I own a Mercedes&quot;, its reliability sucks so hard its not even funny. Plus the BMW is faster, and way more fun to drive. Plus in my opinion the new SLK class looks so ugly, (i used to love it before it was re designed).
So in my opinion, go for the BMW for everything! And i don&#039;t know if you care, but i would choose a black color on any of those cars,
good luck&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>My friend builds 613ci maxiblock wedge engines that dyno over 1000hp and 1000 pounds of torque on a single carb.  It will bolt right into a 1972 Dodge Challenger, with proper rearend setup should propel you to run in the 9&#039;s in the quarter mile.  The &#039;72 is way lighter than the new Challenger so the &#039;72 will be much quicker.

If you need more than a 1000hp I can get one built for you!  Speed costs money, how much speed do you want.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
