I've thought about test driving one, either the 300hp or 455 AMG, but everything I've read says it's a pretty rough ride as a daily driver... and well, the roads in the Midwest are awful.

I do like the Beamers, but not as much overall. If you want more "fun," than I'd say go with the BMW.

I will say, if you don't mind hatchbacks, test out a Volkswagen Golf R. Those things are fun to drive. 292 HP stock and MSRP is around 36,500. You can get up to like 400 HP if you get the right add-ons aftermarket.
Mercedes are damned nice - I had a 2000 black on black S500 in 05ish (correction - more like '07) - it was a big Victor Newman type car - but I loved it. However today - i'd never consider a mercedes unless it was of the AMG variety. I LOVE the SLS GT (AMG) w/ the LAMBO doors. But that's their answer to the Audi R8 - So you're looking at around $119k there - and yeah - that's just stupid to pay that.

Love my 328i. When I decided to go with a bimmer I couldn't find one that I liked so I had one ordered with what I wanted. They said it would take 2 months to be made and delivered to mid-mo. Received it in 7 weeks. If we get another one I will have it ordered to my specs and do the European Delivery. You pick it up at the factory, drive it around for a week or so and get it to Hamburg I do believe and put it on a transport. That's a big if though because even though it is a 2009 it's a great car and we can't see parting ways right now.

European Delivery would be so much fun.... until I destroyed the car on the Autobahn.

It is amusing that you can drive on your US license for 6 months in Germany.... do they know how terrible we are at driving?!

I have a m235i on order. Pretty much in the same boat as BRC... 9 year old Monte Carlo SS with ~99,000 miles and nothing immediately wrong with it, but starting to show its age.

That's badass. I had no idea that BMW gives you the option of picking up your car at the factory in Germany.

Several do... Audi, MB, Porche, Volvo. I think Porche is the only one that charges extra for it. BMW marks down their cars by $2-3k (which is basically what you'd get at a dealership) and I think they give you a free night at a nice hotel and a tour of their museum.
