The SLK is a sloath compared to a Zed. How did it come down to these two? 
I have owned an SLK
The SLK was nice with the roof down and boring with it up.
Roof down was just because of the convertible experience.
Car had a cavernous boot with the roof up but next to nothing with it down.
Dealership was rubbish, and the service prices extortionate.

And above all of this the main thing missing from the SLK, was a straight six motor.

SLK is a hairdressers car 
unlike a macho Z3 then.....
)SLK is a hairdressers car
My sister knows nothing about cars. I mean nothing. When I bought my Z3 I sent her a photo of it. Her reply was 'Very nice. When are you starting your hairdressing lessons?' Made me laugh, but I guess it sums up the world at large's opinion of cars like the Z3, Z4 and SLK.
Before I bought my Z3 I did think quite seriously about an SLK 320. Quite quick and the metal roof was a novelty. The main concern was that they were made during the period when M-B cost reduction was at its height. There were so many rusty ones around with tatty interiors. Then I remembered the 735i I'd owned a few years before and its turbine smooth straight six engine. Decision made - had to be the BMW. Mind you, I have to say that the build quality out of the South Carolina factory where the Z3 was made wasn't truly exemplary.....
You even chose the SLK over a Z3. I remember going to look at a grey one with you at Howarths, a 1.9 sport if I remember?
I'd choose an SL over the SLK every time. If I ever swap my Z3 it will be for an SL
It was a 2.2 sport, but because we had to transport a golfer around the country I chose the one with a bigger boot.
Anyway, don't get on at me,...... you actually won a brand new Z3, and didn't want it !!!!
Z3's boot is plenty big enough, you just didn't know how to pack it. And it's not that I didn't want it, thats the stupid rules set out for amatuer golfers by the R&A. That would have been a W reg like mine now, it was back in 2000. I actually bought some Z3 sunglasses with the voucher they gave me for the stealers, wish I'd kept them.
