Thinking about buying a Mercedes-Benz SL550? Compare it to a BMW 6 Series first!
The BMW 6 Series Overview
Continuing with its athletic performance character and distinctive profile defined by unique and voluptuous curves, the BMW 6 Series Coupe for 2011 offers more opportunity for the customer to tailor the 650i to their personal preferences.
The 6 Series Coupe has been thoughtfully refined to emphasize the perfect proportions of the BMW 6 Series body even more, and update the overall look. By enhancing the distinctive spoiler lip on the trunk lid, the rear appears even more sporty, while the revised front and rear bumper and sportier rocker-panels further add to the car's dynamic impact.
The 6 Series includes BMW's 4th generation iDrive system, lane departure warning, active cruise control with stop & go, and a new high-beam assistant feature along with a 4.8-liter V-8 engine which delivers 360 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 360 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm for pure driving pleasure. As well as run-flat tires and tire pressure monitor are standard features on the 6 Series.
The Mercedes-Benz SL550 Overview
The changes found on the SL550 are relatively minor and are focused on the steering, handling, and exhaust. In fact the only way to visually differentiate the 2007 model from the previous 2003-2006 model is to count the number of slats on the grille. The SL 550 still lacks a true manual transmission.
While the front passenger enjoys plenty of room, there is no longer a rear seat offered in this vehicle.
BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz

What BMW offers…
The 650i offers 360 hp and 360 hp-ft of torque to take the Coupe from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds with the standard 6-speed manual transmission. With the optional 6-speed Sport Automatic transmission, the 0-t6- times is 5.4 seconds.
Subtle refinements to the interior and exterior of the 2008 model make the 6 Series even more luxurious.
What Mercedes-Benz doesn’t…
The SL550 features a 382 hp @ 6000 rpm 5.5L V-8 engine with 391 lb-ft @ 2800 - 4000 rpm.
A standard driver-adaptive 7-speed automatic transmission that is similar to BMW's STETRONIC is included, as well as Electronic Stability Program to improve handling.
Don't settle for the ordinary, drive something extraordinary. Expect the ultimate in performance and service by purchasing a BMW.
