Hello. I have had my BMW for 11 years but need to sell it now.
I have used him daily and he drives beautifully but failed his MOT last month. B491 AEW 318i I really love this car and am sad to see it go, would like it to go to somebody who will restore him, but I don't know where to advertise. Can you help guide me in the right direction.

Hello, Welcome to the Zone.

If you want the car to go to someone that will be more likely to "restore" it, Put up an advert on here, or on the Zone FB group page.

Where abouts are you located ?

Ok, the Zone Forum & FaceBook group page would be a good place to start.

Car and Classic free to advertise but hit and miss. Have had untold messers off there in the past.
However, I advertised my 325i recently and a guywho bought it was on the phone the next day after advert puy on. eBay is the last resort!
