Just trying to see if I can get some interest in my car that I might be selling/ trading sometime in the future.

The Car
2000 BMW E46 (323i)
Automatic transmission (steptronic)
Premium and Cold weather packages
Euro clear corners all the way around
CD player with BMW business sound system
KNN cold air intake
69***k miles
Silver

Service
All service is done at a Martins German Service in Roanoke VA.
I happen to work at the dealership that I get the car service at; therefore I have access to all service records since I have owned the car.
Brand new suspension bushings just last week
New brake pads
Plenty of miles left on the tires (Michelins)
Oil change ever 5k miles (castrol syntec)

The bad
I bought the car in 2004 with a branded title. The lady before me that owned the car totaled it. She was hit on the right front side.
Front fender, hood, bumper, and right side door where all replaced and repainted to match the BMW factory color (very unnoticeable).
With a car that is 7 years old there are a few paint imperfections, average parking lot stuff, couple of scratches, and few dings, nothing major.
Recently I just touched up most of the paint chips and it looks great.
I had to replace the right front control arm because they put a bad one on it when they were repairing the car.

The Good
For its age it has very low mileage
The car is in perfect mechanical condition, its way more reliable than my Porsche.
It has been a very fun reliable car as my daily driver
I work as detailer at the dealership so it is detailed twice a year
Looks great
Very reliable
Great car for the girlfriend/wife. Or something to drive instead of your garage Queen m3
Garaged kept
Plenty of pep

Reason for selling
Preferable I don’t really want to sell the car I would rather trade for an e36 with a 5 speed manual.
If I sold the car I was thinking somewhere around $9k if I had to sell it instead of trading, but right now I'm just looking at all my options.
I don’t really have many pictures. If you want to see the car I will email pictures when I get around to taking some. Right now just look at the car through the link (if it works)
And again I'm just trying to get a feel for any interest in the car I'm not ready to make a decision on anything yet.
No trades (unless it is a BMW 3 series with a manual)
Thanks for looking and this car is great if you want to upgrade to a reliable e46.

this is my way of getting around the forum rules

I can hardly see anybody on this forum being a potential buyer, considering that you can get 01 clean title 330Ci (with somewhat higher mileage) but Sport+Premium for somewhere around $12k (granted that most of them advertise at $14-15k but they don't move until the price is cut). branded title is another story.

Well the price was a concern of mine obviously, and I know I'm on a longshot with this but i would rather trade for a car around $6-7k and just be done with it. I can't afford to be without a car for a long period of time, so that is why trading would be the best option. I was just throwing a price out there, and just to clarify; this is a feeler and I would love to see some offers. Plus I'm open to any comments; you won't hurt my feelings. Keep em' comming.
