I have one and I did choose it over a Vette. The Vette felt very solid but the warranty was not as good and is ugly on the inside. The M Roadster was the only car I drove that put a smile on my face when I drove it, every time!
I test drove a Vette, SLK 55 AMG (beautiful but my last one SLK 32 AMG was in the shop all of the time and mercedes would not let me out of the lease or let me have another car so fuck them! So I got a BMW), Boxster was nice but no real thrill.
It doesn't matter where it was made; it's still the same tooling and the same parts.
That said, the gear knob on all BMWs is friction mounted. You simply stick it on and push down on it ... that isn't the first time someone has pulled one off. I've done it a few times myself.
only 7 sec....

And I'd like to see Mercedes build a quality car that was not always in the shop and offer a warranty that's as good as BMW's.
Touting supercars is one thing living in reality and driving a quality car is entirely different.
I have had Two mercdes (3 if you count a ML for 3 weeks) and they my AMG Service record was taller than I am twice...and I'm 5'11
My BMW has had only a couple of issues and none of them dangerous which the SLK 32 AMG did. I love the way Mercedes look but not their quality

I have just bought one last week.. What a hoot of a car.
I had the 3.0l Z4 and the two cars are a world apart even if you were to take out the M engine. Thumbs up from me...
