Don't take this the wrong mate mate, as it's not intended as an attack on you, but you need to use a spell check if your advert has as many mistakes as your post (I need one all the time BTW). Buyers are put off by poorly spelt adverts.

It looks like a really nice car to me, of its type.

Got any links to the adverts and we can try and help.

Please understand no offence intended and I'm dyslexic myself BTW.

Advert needs changing

TAX 31.04.2010 - 2010? Makes it look like the car hasn't been used for a year.

Airconditiong = Air conditioning

New Barkes And Pads = New brake pads?

No Service History = no response to the advert

£3150 Price Negotiable = £3200 (and don't offer to negotiate, that's the buyers job)

The registration would suggest it's a 2004, not a 2001 but I thought the newest Z3 was 2002 - when it finished... or have I had too much wine now?

Also the location of the pictures will scare some buyers away.

It's always adviced to buy from where the vechical is kept on the V5. Taking pics in a car park makes you look like a chancer or a trader trying to sell the car as a private sale.

Also tbh any buyer would be warery that it's not the owner selling the car.

Also put a landline number rather than a mobile.

he's not selling the car from the car park though is he ?

al longs as the pics are clear i dont see the problem with car parks but make sure its clutter free and not a tower block car park lol

a well constructed advert, decent pics and then leave out any stories like selling it for a friend. tell them that when they call or when the come down to look at it

as for land lines, makes no difference to me.

What I like to do is find an advert which is very well presented and follow it. Cars photography very well in this kind of location and on a nice sunny day.

And if you see my signature below although its a crap picture, cars seem to look good on gravel.
