BMW E93 325i -v- CLK W209 280/350 Convertible?

[RESSE]

I wonder if anyone has ownership experiences of either the BMW E93 325i M Sport or Mercedes CLK 280/350 Sport convertible?

Our budget is £8,000 to £9,000, and I think this would get a lowish mileage model from 2007/2008/2009?

I like the hard top of the E93 but boot space of the CLK looks better - the car would be used for weekends, trips to Europe (total annual mileage no more than 8,000).

Thanks in advance.

Get a 330i, not a 325i. Literally zero downsides the having the 330i.

As has been said, if you go for the BMW then get a 330i, I ran an e93 for a couple of years, sold it last year and still wish I'd kept it.

Thanks for the reply.

Is the 335i worth considering, although most of the ones I can find for sale are SE spec?
