OK...I don't think the question was placed appropriately...so let's take this scenario instead.

Say you are contemplating an E46...and an S2000...both with the same mileage...BUT...not traded evenly.

If you had an M3...would you go down to an S2000 (of the same year and the same mileage) plus $ 15,000 back to you?

Or...the other way around. If you had an S2000...would you trade towards an M3 (the same year and the same mileage) plus $ 15,000?

I'LL GO FIRST. I would do either one...depending what kind of mood I am in and depending what kind of day I am having. One of the last transactions I did was very similar...03 M3 with 9,000 miles...towards an 04 with 450 miles...got $ 15,000 back to me...I could have gotten the car out straight but he owner was going to buy something from this dealer and the dealer wanted the M3 so we all worked it out..less taxes is

Now...what would YOU do? How many people have traded one for the other?
Forget regular 3 series...I am talking M3 baby...ONLY M3...

 

I'd take the S2000+$15000 easily.

Oh wait, that's what I sort of did I suppose. I was angling for an 03 M3 but ended up taking over my brother's payments on his (now my) S2K. It took exactly one drive to have me convinced that I shouldn't hold out six more months for the M3.
