Where is the best place to sell a BMW 120i convertible?

Can you help with a dilemma? My sister bought a new BMW 120i convertible in March last year. Due to unforeseen and tragic circumstances she has to sell it and hopes to replace it with a used 4x4 (Honda CR-V or similar). I am trying to find the best way to do this in one deal with a cash settlement in her favour and am wondering if you can recommend a dealer and/or website I could try?

Either go cap in hand to a BMW dealer (and that might be a traumatic experience in winter), try a Honda dealer or put it through www.sure-sell.info. BCA may even suggest one of its Top Car auctions. There will be a better market for it once Spring has sprung.
