To compete with a SLK55 a fictional e89 Z4M would cost between 80-85k. a good 12-17k more than a SLK55. Its lucky the SLK looks like crap bc if it was reverse and the BMW was the dog and the MB was the looker.. NOBODY not ONE person would chose a 35iS vs a full blown AMG car for what makes no difference in price.

I think it more like $5k w/o the AMG handling package, that adds another $5k. So your really looking at $79,000 for a fully decked out SLK55 AMG.
But it is clearly way more of a performance car than the 35is. I got mine new a couple of months ago for $60,000 with all of the options since they wanted to clear it (2012). For $20,000 difference I'm happy with my Z4.
