It's not easy to compare the 2007 BMW M6 Convertible and the 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. The whole idea teeters on the brink of the ridiculous.
How relevant is a comparison of a $108,795 BMW M6 to a $189,375 Mercedes SL? With about a thousand M6 convertibles and less than half as many SL65 AMGs expected to arrive this year, the pool of potential buyers won't get the soles of your feet wet.
The financing is certainly ridiculous. On a typical 60-month car loan, reduced by a generous $20,000 down payment, the monthly payment on a base SL65 (without any options) would be $3,812. By the end of those five years, the well-to-do SL65 AMG owner will have laid down $250,000 total.
