Considering a trade - 2006 BMW 330i for 2007 MCS

I used to have a 2003 MCS and sold it last year to buy a larger car, a 2006 BMW 330i. Now I am starting to regret the decision. Rather than trying to sell a used car right now I thought I'd see if there is any interest in a swap (I've done this in the past with other cars).

I know other people are out there in the same situation (need a larger back seat for kids) so I am throwing it out there.

If you're in the NW or even Bay Area and have interest or know of someone who is interested in a possible swap of cars drop me a line.

My current car is:

2006 BMW 330i
6 speed
Silver over black leather
64k miles with all servies done.
New tires
Sport package
Premium package
Cold Weather package
Full integrated rear sunshared (rear window is push button)
Bluetooth
Sirus radio

The car is in great shape, is an amazing freeway cruiser (I got 37mpg drving from Seattle to Portland), and handles quite well. It's large enough to fit four adults comfortably.

If you feel like getting practical so I can do the opposite let me know. Looking at possibly going to a 2007 MCS with similar options.

You got rid of that Mini That car was beautiful! I would go for a new, or used, Mini. My wife just traded her 2005 330ci conv. in for a 09 MCS. She had major elecrical problems with that BMW It was great looking, but boring to drive Mini all the way P.S., it looks like you have a larger car or SUV in those pictures? So you already have your hauler. Plus a Mini can still seat 4 and carry alittle stuff at the same time.

Yea, the E46 is more problematic than the E90. I have had no issues with this car. Again, love it but it's not a MINI.

Tempting. Too bad I'd have to obtain replacement financing.
