Default Anyone interested in trading their S for an M3?

Looking to get back into an S2000, might anyone in the Bay be interested in my E46? it's salvaged but runs like a champ. I can add cash depending or vice versa.

I thought about buying a used M3. However I am worried about the reliability. Curious as to what others have experienced with BMW reliability

I had 2 different e46 m3s. And its a reliable car. My only problem was throttle position sensor. It has 3 and they all throw the same code, so that sucked. My smg clutch replacement cost me around 3k. 1k new flywheel (recommend), 1k labor, 1k clutch it self.
I also had rear view mirror leaking the liquid that makes the mirror go dark at night. There is company you send it in and 100 bucks to replace the mirror.
thats about it.
