Routes I have driven!
Abuja Lokoja (extended)

Abuja Kaduna (extended)

Benin Asaba (extended) if you want to try out your BMWs here's a place to go, it has also got some very sweet, smooth and twisty roads ( shall
I say I fell in love with the road which I traveled on the very time at night, but I did see one BMW that was destroyed entirely when its owner exceeded his limits and the cars limits, from the look of things, am not sure he survived. Matter of fact, Delta beats many southern states hands down in terms of number of kilometers of very very good roads in several directions!

Don't know the name of the roads - but Enugu and Ebonyi have some very sweet, smooth and twisty roads ( briefly), if you want to try out your
BMWs here's a place to go

Some sections of East West Road in Delta State ( briefly)

Abuja Minna ( very briefly)

Port Harcourt Expressway ( briefly)

Enugu and Abia state ( brief sections of that expressway)

Routes I have heard friends perform speed miracles
Kaduna
Kano
Sokoto
Jigawa


Come to think of it, should the constitutional amendment on road safety work, then it is time we abolish one speed limit for all of nigeria and replace it with varied speed limits like it exists in the US, and since states are complaining of lack of cash, they should build autobahn type roads and tax those who wanna use them, like i read Germany is about to do: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-28199383 and http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-06/autobahn-thrills-to-cost-foreigners-under-german-plan.html and http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-06/autobahn-thrills-to-cost-foreigners-under-german-plan.html and http://www.justlanded.com/english/Germany/Articles/Travel-Leisure/The-Autobahn

I would gladly pay the bill to be able to drive between Abuja and Delta at 200km instead of 100km if all the states in between would work out an arrangement to build and toll such a road, same goes for abuja lagos

Jigawa

Disclaimer: I do not recommend exceeding speed limits, this was posted to illustrate what is possible, this is no incitement or encouragement to break the law and neither should it be taken as such!

Also Port Harcourt /Ikot Abasi Road and Akwa- Ibom freeways, you can do the maga here. Smooth, sweet, silent roads, even on your tyres..just like sliding ontop of water.

@Coldplay007, I'm sure even hubby will be over impressed if he handles d 330I once, esp. If he travels with it, the performance/handling is something out of ordinary! I've used and owned at least six brands of cars so far(including Toyota), so I'm telling you this from experience! That's a car you can comfortably do your 007 moves with.

Han han see big lie, 007 moves with a BMW, including the move where he used car seat ejection to evade a missile, I doubt that.

Third mainland Bridge is no longer good for racing.

I have done 180kmph in the past but I dare not go beyond 140 now...

Bad patches, wavy repairs, tyre shreds, gaps etc...

For drag racing, the only one I can recommend is just after lekki toll gate when the road is free.
come to Abuja, let's run airport road, or maybe kaduna to Kano grin

Its not a drag race, your ability to get to maiduguri on time is key, if you like get a v12 no problem(you will fuel up many more times) your ability to get through checkpoints, bad roads, traffic,insurgents is all part of the race. Speed might not help in this race.
