This car isn't an obvious choice as it was in the shadow of the M3. But in either 2.3 or 2.5 form its still a fine car, built when Mercedes were turning out well built machines. Beware though in manual form this car has a dog leg gearbox (google it). It has seem screen time on Wheeler Dealers and a few times on BBC Top Gear. This is a fine handling car that sadly is fast disappearing from our streets.
