Very nice E36 M3. It looks to be in excellent shape and those Vader seats look near new. Love those seats!

So did he split the $1400 profit with you?

The replacement? A 1995 BMW M3. It looks very similar at a glance, as you can see from the pics, but it drives and handles as an M3 should. He can't seem to wipe the grin off his face I just may have to swap vehicles with him now and then

No, he rolled it into the M3. But he also got to pay the difference between the 318is and the M3 (as well as the difference in insurance costs)
