BMW needs selling, but need some advice

[Gecko555]

Hi All,

I've got a 318i (2000 X) that has blown it's head gasket. I've got another car already but need to get rid of this as soon as possible.

I know it's not going to be worth much, but it does have 18" M series alloys (not 100% sure which).

What is the best way of finding out how much they are worth? If they are worth enough I'd consider selling the wheels if you take the whole car with you

Be interested to hear what you all think.

Cheers

Difficult to say without you posting a picture.

Are they original BMW wheels or aftermarket replicas?

Do they have decent branded tyres with good tread?

Easiest way to price them is to look on Ebay and see what they've sold for.

Are they MV1's?

Thanks for the reply, I'll get some pics up and try to identify exactly what they are first.

Cheers

eBay - you can search completed listings (tick the option in advanced search) to see what sets like yours have sold for.

If head gasket gone on a car that old I'd put the whole thing on eBay for spares/repair. Start low no reserve and you'll do ok, unless you can be ar$ed to strip it and flog all the parts yourself.
