Modern look with classy lines. This 50th anniversary edition is true to the 1954 300SL in looks but a little light on performance. This car should be faster. Also, light knocking on acceleration is annoying. New 7 speed transmission is very smooth. Handling with 18 inch wheels is superb. Steering is a bit heavy at slow speeds and you can tell this is a heavy car. But at highway speeds, it's a dream. If you have the money, this is the hardtop convertible to get.

The new 2004 MZB 500SL

I just bought the new 2004 SL after having previosly owned an SL back in 1993. I am very impressed with this car's handling. I have driven the BMW from sports car to 2002 745i and believe it or not this SL handles nicer than any BMW I've ever driven. It is solid, quiet, stunningly powerful and fun! I got the sport package which I highly recommend. The controls are easy compared to BMW's "I"-drive.Add up all the add ons and your talking an easy $100,000, but i think this one is worth every penny.
