Forum Rules For OneSeriesBMW.com

Always include a price in your thread. If you're selling a car you MUST include the asking price AND the VIN. Pics are always helpful.

No Ebay Links To Stuff You're Selling- If you are selling something on ebay - fine. You don't need to post it on here, because the items on this forum are at a set price.

No Public Bid-Wars or Price Bashing! - Show common courtesy to the person that is selling their item. Do not reply to their post in a negative manner, with "I will sell anyone the same spoiler for $20.00 or less!". If you can offer it cheaper, start your own sale post. Don't encroach on another members sale post. That is thread jacking and is a warnable offense.

If these simple rules cannot be followed your thread/post will be deleted without notification.

No COMMERCIAL posting allowed! - The Sale Forums are for OneSeriesBMW.com owners and enthusiasts to trade and sell parts among each other. All commercial posts will be deleted and user is subject to account ban!

The Sale forums are not for businesses to advertise or unload goods. If you post more than one of the same item for sale that is considered selling for profit and will not be permitted here. Any company interested in advertising their goods and services should go through the proper channels to do so. And, please don't sell items that are not yours. (Example: "I'm selling this for a friend of mine")

Group Buys - Group Buys are considered commercial as well and ARE NOT allowed in Sale Forums, or any other area of the site.

New User Restriction - To protect our members from quick buck scammers, and to weed out commercial profit scrubs, you must have 31+ viable posts to start a sale in this forum. If we witness evidence of a new user spamming replies and posts just to get their post count up, they will be banned.

Post Your Price, NO Auction Type Sales! - Running your sale like an auction is not acceptable in the Sale Forums. This is not EBAY - last we checked it was OneSeriesBMW.com. We find this to be a highly dishonest form of selling. There is nothing stopping the seller from telling one member he/she got a higher offer through Private Messaging or Email, when they really didn't. So in short, you must list sale prices in your sale post! No further explanation needed. If you post an auction type sale, it will be removed and you will be flagged with a warning to your account.

1 Series BMW Parts, Accessories, Etc. ONLY - Items must be specifically usable on the 1 Series Models. Only 1 Series models can be sold here. Mobile audio/video and radar detectors are ok. Game systems and laptop computers are NOT acceptable. No selling your Spider-Man comics or Barbie collection. Again, this is not Ebay!

Please try your best to be as descriptive as possible in your sale posts. Pictures are worth a thousand words as well. Don't forget you can upload photos to help your sale.

Post Subject Prefix - Try and use the following format to help people know your intent for posting. Start your post with the following codes in the Subject field to verify what your sale thread is about. If it is something general and the codes don't apply, just be sure to enter a good description in the subject.

FS: For Sale
WTB: Want to Buy
FT: For Trade Only
SOLD: Go back and edit your post later with this update if your item sells. This way people don't waste time viewing it if they aren't interested.

Examples of a good sale post's subject:
FS: Graphite 17" Wheels, slightly used
WTB: New or used APEXi SAFC

We thank you all for your cooperation. Keeping this forum will make it a better experience for everyone.


Thank you.
