The 1997 BMW 840TI Trade in as an unraced one
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2026 9:22 am
Hello everyone,
A new radiator and a few other components are required for my 840. The repair is out of my price range at the moment, so I'm trying to figure out what to do next.
Although I'd rather not, I know I need to be practical and sell the car. So, I've been thinking about selling it as a non-runner in the hopes that someone will buy it and fix it so it can be driven again.
It has 8 months of remaining MOT and is otherwise in good condition, with the exception of a damaged radiator.
I was wondering if anyone had been through something similar. Your story would be fascinating to me.
Are there any other suggestions for non-runner sales sites besides Autotrader and eBay?
If anyone is interested in purchasing the vehicle as-is, I would also be glad to hear from them. More information is available, and I am available for a reasonable discussion.
It is appreciated.
