BMW 650i Convertible and a Mercedes-Benz SL500 Convertible?
Posted by admin | Under Mercedes Benz Convertible Tuesday Nov 10, 2009I’m deciding between a BMW 650i Convertible and a Mercedes-Benz SL500 Convertible. Both are black and have sick rims/tires as well as comparable options. I’m wondering which would be the better car to get in terms of shock value, looks, speed, and overall performance. I’m just coming off a CLK 320 and I loved it, but I’m looking to upgrade. I like to show it off, so that plays a huge role in my decision.
Thanks
omg. you are choosing between two of my favorite cars…..
Well, I have driven a benz and a bmw, and i have to tell you, i like the Mercedes drive MUCH better,
I drove the X5 as my first far, its nothing compared to the 6 series, but the steering wheels for BMW’s are so stiff, and i just really dont like the drive. Otherwise, the 6 series is the sickest car ever. Especially in black. Thats hott.
However, Mercedes are like family to me.. Ive driven a CLS500 and a CLK550, and i think they are just amazing..
SL500. Very Classy.
But, where you live plays a major role in your car buying decision. Where i live, i see a lot more BMW’s 6series than Mercedes SL500, so thats a factor. I would buy something that not everyone has.
but on this question.. id have to betray mercedes and say 6series… its just so hott. and your getting it in black too, which is perfect. im jealous..
I would choose the BMW 650iC because it’s looks are great, it has been on the market for less time (The Mercedes will look older quicker) and the BMW is a little more reliable than the Mercedes-Benz.

650i VS SL500
BMW 650i:
-great looks, (A)
-sophisticated computer system for quick acceleration ( A++)
-Higher resale value (A++)
-Performs very well at high speeds, very stable ( A+)
-This is a car with plenty of speed when you need it, and it performs amazingly aside from snow or flooded roads.
-The 650I series is due for a face-lift very soon.
MERCEDES-BENZ SL500
-Sharp, classic mercedes looks ( A+)
-ALOT of horsepower, but it’s so much up to the point where you can put all the horsepower to the wheels, because it will spin-out, and burn rubber instead. (A-)
-regualr maintainence is required, ( more than the 650i)
-Since, the all new 2009 Mercedes SL series is out, the previous generation of SL looses much of it’s value.
VERDICT:
~The BMW is a very well built grand-tourer ( GT), you can drive a very long time in it, in comfort. And when you want to max out some horsepower, it handles admirably as well. And it does have a higher resale value, and shock value ove the SL500.
~hope this helps ^^
