like I said before, I have driven both and the BMW is faster but I never thought the MB was ULTRA slow...I thought it was faster than my 1.8t Audi...
not sure cause you had a b5. this kompressor is def. slower than my 5MT 1.8t b6 audi. once it gets going, it's not so bad. but it does 0-60 in almost 8 secs and 1/4 mile in 16 sec. if that puts it in perspective.
i do like the cross drilled rotors on the benz tho.

based on what you first posted the benz fits your description perfectly

here are my stipulations (ideally)...
german 4 doors
better gas mileage
smaller car payment
plus he is driving his G to the dealership...driving the G and then getting right in the benz is like being punched in the balls...it hurts!
haha! that's what the salesguy said. he was like... how did you like it? and i said... well i like the price - but it's really slow. and he was like - well YAH compared to what you're used to!

it shouldnt be bad. Im telling you its not that slow. plus you are looking for something a little tamer so you should expect a little slower car.
if you want smooth and relaxed, the benz is exactly that.
if it helps you, that is exactly what I would buy if I were looking for that in a car. either that or an audi.
I only still want the G cuz I havent owned a car for a long period of time before and I want to get my thrills before I hang it up ya kno.
otherwise I'd be looking into the sedan market as well (or id make the girl buy the sedan )

i think you should reverse the order. drive the slower car first and then the faster one. see if the bimmer gives you a more "refreshing" feeling. if not then the choice is obvious
