The Mercedes CLK is going to retire and the BMW M3 Cabrio is brand new. And you can feeel the difference bethe old and the young one: the CLK is more narrow, less functional and less versatile than the M3 but its great adavantge is the 6.2-Liter-V8. The BMW M3 on the opposite is the more agaile, even the more aggressive drive challanging the driver to find out all its secretsby revving up the engine and keeping it at that performing level. And: The DSG is a must! Big improvement. The M3 wins with 3001 against 2817 pts. http://www.autozeitung.de/online/render.php?render=127406
