SL has the finest exterior but the interior award goes to M6, hands down. SL is really showing its age when I compare the interiors.

You know, Dom, the SL doesn't have a manual tranny. The pre-facelifted SL350 had a sequential transmission (so not a manual either) but all the other engine versions had automatic as standard. With the facelift the SL350 also got auto-tranny (standard), so now all the versions of the SL are standardly fitted with A/T.

Sorry, my mistake. It's AMG. Damn, was I drunk when I wrote that?! But doesn't matter, SL still.

tough choice i love the looks,the V10 and the engine of M6...but in reality i'll probably choose SL cause of the Hard Top,and also because it's classy and elegant look.

Here's the final word.

Für das Bad in der Menge eignet sich das BMW M6 Cabrio besser. Sein dramatischer Auftritt und die außergewöhnliche Kurvendynamik erheben ihn in den Olymp jener Automobile, deren Faszination ihren Nutzwert bei weitem überstrahlt. (The BMW M6 has very good handling, especially in curves and is also fascinating in terms of practicality.)

Dazu tragen nicht zuletzt technische Kabinettstückchen wie das Siebengang-SMG und der drehzahlgierige V10 bei. An den Anblick des SL haben wir uns indes schon gewöhnt. Doch das schmälert in keiner Weise seine Fähigkeiten: Der Kompressor-V8 verbindet Sound, Kraft und Alltagstauglichkeit absolut gekonnt. (It is also a technology-laden car with things such as a 7-speed SMG and a high-reving V10 engine. The SL might appear a bit boring these days, since we're so used to its style. That's not to say that it doesn't perform badly. The supercharged V8 fuses sound, power and practicality just as well.)

Das Variodach lässt den Roadster bei Bedarf zum Coupé mutieren und die makellose Verarbeitungsgüte sowie der gebotene Komfort untermauern seinen – erneuten – Testsieg. (The Varioroof (SL) allows the roadster to become a coupe, the quality of workmanship is high and it is also comfortable - enough for the win.)

My vote for the SL55 AMG didn't help either.

Now it does, 26 to 25

One of my traditional favorites and one new favorite. The SL55 is still the one for me, but it is very close. There is something about a convertible 6 that makes me forget the ugly trunklid, or at least how it looks on the coupe.
