Wink Trade my E46 m3 for your GS/LS sedan in NORCAL

hey guys,

Bottom line is that I need a 4-door sedan (auto) to replace my e46 m3. I was just going to buy a older 99 GS400 around $10,000 and keep the m3 but we are seriously running out of room in the garage so this might be the best choice to trade

This is just a feeler so no rush but I'd like to pick up a white blue, silver 06+ GS. Otherwise very flexible on options. Light mods are ok but no turbo swaps or crazy stuff since this will be a simple daily driver

Will also consider a late model LS430 or a 99+ GS400 if the color, mods and optons are right.

No black cars please.....

What I have: 2002 E46 m3 in Jet Black with Imola Red interior, 6-speed manual, original owner, ALL KEYS and Books, 50k miles and tons of aftermarket goodies (easily $50k in receipts)

I know I can part it out to get $15k-18k easy and the car is worth an additonal $25k on KBB so let me know what you have in mind. So doing the math, I'm looking for $40k or best offer

You can see pics of it in my signature link but if this idea interests you, hit me up and we can talk to see if we both have what the other needs. If not no biggie.....

I'm located in NORCAL but the deal does not have to be local! Reply on this thread or just email me some pics of what you have in trade.


thanks for looking

I remember you from the S2000 forum before I sold my s2k. I also remember reading your post about the porsche when you first bought it. You are crazy rich. What do you do and what do I need to do? haha.

Thanks man, just one of those life priorities that is ever changing....I was standing in my garage the other night with buddies working on our bikes and he noted I have 6 cars, only my SUV is a true 4-door vehicle that can take people out. Everything else are 2+2 or pure 2-door sport cars which are pretty much useless when guests come over! Plus I really want one more automatic car in the household so looking to get rid of the m3.


I'm willing to travel to other states or even drive my m3 there if the swap makes sense. Looking at 2006 GS's - my bro has a GS350 and I really like how it drives plus the extra space.

I've gone through (x3) s2000's and still have my beloved Rio Comptech supercharged car as my daily

Lemme know what you got! An ideal trade would be an owner who wants a more sporty car and both of us LOVE + Appreciate mods as I'm trying to buy a car I don't have to mod too much and hope the new owner will enjoy my m3 modded as well.

Best way to reach me is via email: s4playko@yahoo.com

thanks for entertaining my offer,
rick

P.S for those too lazy to click my signature to see what my M3 looks like here's one pic from the bottom link:

It's hard to put a price on my babe but here's what I have into it. I'm realistic and know I'm not going to get most of my mod money but if I part it out I can easily pick up another $15k-18k on the conservative end.

KBB on the car is about $25k

I'm not going to give the car away and certainly not going to do a flat trade for a older body GS!

Ideally looking to trade for a 2006+ GS or LS even if the car is the right color. I've gotten a ton of PM's / emails to trade for everything from a Mini Cooper to a G35 but if you read my original post, it says:

"Looking for a mid/full size 4-door AUTOMATIC sedan" so don't want another useless sports car as I have enough impractical toys....

Been away a few days and got some unique offers on trade but so far still looking.....

I saw a 2001 GS430 that would work but haven't heard back from him yet.

Yes, I do like white cars very much but Silver is ok for the GS
