nice video, thanks, shame the SLK was slower on the obstacle course, and the 0-60 time was slower than the published times, maybe it was just a slow driver behind the wheel

The heavy vario roof might account for this... But hey, at least you get a hard roof over your heard when you want it, unlike the rag tops.

Two quick comments.... altough it place 34, you should notice that Z4 placed 7 is only 0.6 seconds away, out of 20 seconds of course that counts but I don't think it's that bad...

For the 0-60 time, I think that Mercedes was quite optimistic with the time of 5.5, that's the second time I see a figure of 6.0 in the german press, and the other one was Auto Motor und Sport, which is a well renowned magazine...
