Mid Week Match-Up: Help Collin Trade His BMW 540i 6-Spd
This week’s Mid Week Match-Up is going to have a twist. Not only do you have to find the perfect car for Collin, but you also need to find someone who will accept his E39 BMW 540i 6-spd on trade…sounds easy right? Interestingly enough, craigslist is littered with other folks also willing to trade for another car instead of cold, hard cash….maybe you are one of them? Help Collin find a trade for this BMW.
Collin also posted this car up on jalopnik’s opposite lock forum, where he says he is just looking for a guy with a 911 and a baby. Seriously though, what single woman isn’t looking for a dude with a 911 and a baby…wait…what? Oh…to trade his car…right…not for that. Regardless this 540i with 6-speed is one of those rare fun family cars that doesn’t cost an arm/leg and looks good too. What should Collin’s next car be? Comments below.
He should trade it for this Fiero GT

I always wanted to start a website just for people to trade cars. I get bored of my stuff and want other peoples stuff. Seems like a good idea?
This might sound insane, but Colin should include some more details about the car other than it pulled real good on the way to Dahlonega (meth capitol of the North Georgia Mountains). It looks like a 2000, but could be a 1999, given the high take rate on the cassette deck that year, that would be good info to know. Based on the condition of the seats, I'd say it's somewhere around 100k miles, give or take—that'd be good to know. It's a 540, so you want to know the usual stuff—-have the valley gasket and head gaskets been replaced…..just how many pixels are out in the info display, is he on the 4th replacement cupholder yet? Details man, details.
Oh, and to answer your request, here's a 968, although you'd probably have to chip in a little $$$ since on a good day your 540 is $9-10k. Dude's even looking for an e39.
BAMF 968
How about a '93 SAAB 9000 Aero. Even up……
