I bought a '05 SLK 350 last summer with 18K miles and it's been a very good experience so far. I had a '03 C240 for four years before that. The 350 has enough power and I'm glad I got it rather than the 280 (which I test drove many times). It's actually more comfortable than I antiscipated and what many people say. I've driven it four hours at once many times and had no problems whatsoever. What I found most annoying is the squeaky top and a rattle behind the passenger side when the top is up. I did notice that transmission would be jerky when just starting out and I asked the dealer about it when I took it in for service and he said it was normal due to something or other.
Finally, I really like the looks and cache that comes with this car. I test drove a Boxster about 4 times. It's a great car, but the rag top and middle-aged-guy or hot chick stigma was a deal breaker. The BMW Z4 is ugly and not comfortable at all and had NO performance to speak of.
