erico2k2: BMW have dedicated scanner which are most prefered to diagnose the car and are very expensive. Toyota for instance can be scannered thoroughly with a good China made generic scanners. BMW put a lot of tech into their cars which make them fun to drive when the electronics and other components work, but when they break, it cost a fortune to fix. The drop in resale value is not only peculiar to Nigeria , BWM cars have high depreciation value 2 Likes |

erico2k2: The facts are all over the internet and from reputable car reviewers BWM is definitely more high tech than most japanese cars, And high techs cost more to fix when it breaks |

The reason is that aside from Coscharis, there is hardly any credible BMW or Jaguar mechanic in Nigeria. These cars have mini computers controlling almost everything and sadly our mumu and lazy mechanics refuse to upgrade OR use high end and specialized scanners. They do the usual trial and error and end up messing up the entire system of the car. These cars become almost useless scraps after 1 or 2 years in the hands of Nigerian mechanics. BMW like Benz is still a highly priced vehicle abroad. BMW only becomes junk when it enters Nigeria because mechanics have killed the car. Benz has a long history in Nigeria and you still find many mechanics that have sufficiently upgraded their craft. These Benz mechanics only charge an arm and a leg for their services. RUN from Nigerian used BMW if you haven't invested in a high end specialized scanner (costing 200k and above) to diagnose the fault. If the scanner does not read ANY code after being driven in Nigeria, also run! They must have tampered with the car. Our lead ladden fuel alone should pull out a code. 3 Likes 1 Share |

This thread has been very educative... I've driven a Benz and I can say that it's harder to repair by far than a Toyota. Not to mention Nigerian roads are not good for German cars unless you're pushing a 4x4 and even then there's the issue of fuel economy etc. |

Re: Why Are BMW Cars Unbelievably Cheap? by hardbody: 10:39am On Oct 21, 2021 |
Meotoka: Just to buttress your point. I bought a camry muscle in January 2019 for N1.950m. After one year when i realized i had no need for it ( i love SUVs) I sold it for N2.050m. That experience taught me the value of second hand Japanese cars. I had a Hyundai which i ended up dashing out. I won't go into details. Enough said. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Tzar: High end specialized tools are very expensive and most car owners won't even be able to afford the service of these mechanics of they upgrade. However, it is the best way to fix all these German cars. They can be very expensive to maintain, but are a lot of fun to drive . Naija roads go show u pepper sha.. lately that I have had to travel through our federal roads ...omo the roads are now very very bad |
