MIKE Brewer has addressed fans after they were left confused about the fate of a vehicle on Wheeler Dealers World Tour.

A recent episode saw the presenter accompany mechanic Marc Priestley to work their magic on motors in Germany.

The automobile fanatics were both blown away when they were allowed into a "top secret" garage in Munich, where they found Andy Warhol's famous M1 art car.

After some time spent gasping at legendary Formula One cars, Mike and Marc honed in on a BMW E30 M3.

The vehicle has been described as "one of the greatest drivers cars of all time", with the German model boasting a 2.3 litre engine with 200 hp and bespoke suspension.

The pair forked out €69,000 (£59,284) for the car, and spent the majority of the episode attempting to restore the motor to its original condition.

A fresh lick of paint, some welding and a fresh engine helped to turn the car back into its former self.

Marc raved about the vehicle on social media ahead of the episode being aired, telling fans the 80s classic was "one of the best cars we have ever turned out."

He added: "It's the most expensive car we've ever bought on the show, one that we sold for the most amount of money and one that I think we put the most effort and attention to detail in because of how iconic this car is."

But fans were baffled that Wheeler Dealers World Tour never aired a segment where the duo sold the refurbished car on, as they usually do.

After being bombarded with questions about how much the car sold for, Mike eventually took to X to reveal what became of the BMW.

The car trader wrote: "Hi All, thanks for watching the car sold for a small profit to a buyer that didn’t want to disclose the figure and we have to respect that.

"Please share and retweet so I don’t have to answer the same question 1000 times."

Some were unhappy this information wasn't provided during the show.

One person grumbled: "Should have just said that at the end of the programme. For reference.

"I think you should have negotiated harder buying the car at the start. Sebastian would have taken less. Another very good resto though."

However, someone else felt differently, responding: "Never even thought about the price - too busy daydreaming about owning an M3!"
