Anyone interested in a SWAP?

Some of you guys might remember me. I was the proud owner of an 02 X5 4.6is for all of 6 weeks and then out of frustration because it couldn't be fixed sold it back to the stealer and bought my car back.

I'm looking for a low mileage 04 or 05 4.8is. It needs to have these qualifiers: full leather (no cloth inserts), Nav and preferably sport seats (front lower moveable seatlip).

My car: 2003.5 (no engine recalls!) M3 Cabriolet. She just turned 45K. Specifics: Imola red on black leather, 6 speed, brushed Al trim, clear bra, clear side markers, 19" Moven GMBH RG-5 black center/polished lip rims, new Michelin PS-2 tires (245/275's), Euro rotors, ceramic pads, steel brake lines, full Ground Control coilover kit including adjustable sways, transerrable 3yr/75k warranty (aftermarket type).

I figure she's worth $42K to someone who knows their cars. If I can't trade it, I'll keep it. I just thought that maybe, someone wants out of their X5 and into an M3 like I want out of my M3 and back into an X5.

Here's a few pics of my wife getting crazy with a professional racecar driver around a 1/4 mile 2nd gear track: www.shutterfly.com/pro/bp/hpbmw

03 with 45,000 miles is NOT worth 42,000.

Blue book says 44k, but you have to consider the market at this time. Trade in is about 35.5k. I definitely wouldn't trade it. Also think about the Houston market. ///M3 aren't too hard to get around here. I know you are talking trade, but would you sell and purchase a 4.8is.....Check out Expo on 59 and fountainview. They have a real nice Blk 4.8is sitting on the fence line.......Phil
