Default A different ?

I was looking online and found a 2002 C32 that was about a few thousand more than a 99 E55 I asked about earlier. Can the C32 compare to the 99 E55? Which one would be most likely relieable as far as common problems with each model? Thanks

C32 is faster and easier to mod.

I know, but the C32 is a supercharged V6 that has about the same HP and 0-60 times. This is for 1998-2000 E55 and 2002 C32. That's about all I know. These things are so close, so which do I go for? That's the real question.

Thanks

I want the one that handles like a dream. I just sold my C230 and it handled awesome. I know it doesn't compare to these two though.

C32 is s/c. All you need to do is get a ECU tuning and a bigger pulley and you will be over 400hp easy. E55 requires alot of work since its N/A. C32 will outhandle the E55 too, especially if you get coilovers like Bilstein PSS9's or KW's.
