For Sale (SOLD): 2004 BMW 330 ZHP coupe

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Eli, you talking about a direct swap from the M3 to the 330?

[zhp43867]

I keep forgetting about you crazy Beast Coasters and your prices.

Why not?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Not sure why not. I could have sworn I asked someone about doing a direct swap -- outside of this forum. I was told that it will not work. Won't fit.

Beast Coast prices are ridiculous, but Northeast prices are even more so. I couldn't find a single one up here when I was looking for less than $17k.
Gorgeous color though, and agree about the Cinnamon. it begs for it...

So just out of curiosity I checked KBB and NADA prices here, in NYC and LA..

KBB (private party prices)

ND....$14,755
NYC.....$14,755
LA.....$15,205

NADA (retail prices) said it's worth $16,950 in all 3 places.

They don't seem to think location makes much of a difference in pricing but I've learned that what those sites say doesn't jive with what the market says.

For example, KBB says my 2005 BMW R1200GS is worth $9600 and NADA says $7500. KBBs price is closer to market prices.

Interesting, I've found NADA to be the most generous $$$ wise in the past.

Marcus, for coupes at least. I see zero reason why it wouldn't work. The tracks align, doors are the same, rear seats and sides are the same size. Willing to say with not-quite absolute certainty that it has been done more than once on e46fanatics. I think the M3 seats bolsters are chunkier, but they still fit.

[MrMaico]

Yes, Cinnamon would definitely look nice but although it might not be everyones cup of tea I think it would look killer with an LSB interior. Good luck finding one though.

That's good to know. I have access to full interiors from time to time. I'm in love with my natural brown right now but you never know when that will change.

Yes. The M3 and the 330ci can swap seats, arm rests, etc. I haven't checked the convertibles yet though.
