You're so right!
I'm still speechless since I saw it. It's a badass. I also look forward to getting one too.

If I may ask, what's the price range when you got yours?

I think it was around $5k, was a birthday gift from a friend.

Now this was a car that sold for $70k, luxury cars have high depreciation over here.

You can find 01s for under $2k now but I'm looking for a specific color and package.

whoa! That's a very reasonable price.

To be realistic, a car like this so much fits its usage in naija, I mean, look at our roads?

You are the one that obviously needs to upgrade your automobile knowledge friend. There is nothing like a 2006 carina E as it was discontinued before then and replaced with Avensis before then.

Say what! undecided...bruh! I will never dare a 120km/h in any BMW lesser than 2007 but I'll finish the speedometer on 2006 toyota carina E. BMW that took till 2007 before they could introduce electric steering on their base model. Pls know your Onions before coming on a forum like this or you will be drenched. tongue

Enough of this Benz and the others, BMW and the others, Toyota and the others. It's bullsh*t!

I'm a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast. And even I know that there are other cars trying to meet up.

Rolls Royce is better than BMW.
I'd pick a Maserati GranTurismo over a Bimmer.
Lamborghini? Ferrari? Bentley?

I love Benz. But I'm not too narrowminded to see that there are some qualities in the Rolls Royce I prefer to the Benz.
So glad there are still sensible and enlightened people on nairaland.....kudos ladymercedes

Rolls. Royce anyday anytime

It is my opinion that no true autoist should drive anything other than an SUV with solid axles in Nigeria due to our roads.

It is also my opinion that most of the road accidents are results of mechanical failure at speed on cars being subjected to forces that their suspension is not designed for.

Will I use an iL in naija? Maybe but it won't be my primary means of locomotion.

what do you understand about electric steering and it's advantages at 120km/h over the other types of steering? what are the advantages of it over the traditional rack and pinion? your ignorance is showing. Good luck in maxing out your Carina E.

Not even Mercedes almighty Maybach can be compared to even the base Rolls Royce.

BMWs have always been drivers cars, you know the man and machine thing.

Some of us that are into classic BMW like 1968 1602, 1970s 2002 and Bavaria actually appreciate not computerizing the driving experience away.

What picture would you like to have on http://NaijaDrives.Com grin


True... BMW has never pretended to market their cars on tech aided geegaw. I'd choose a 1968 Bimmer anyday for a Gymkhana or Rally style session. cool

My bad... I missed the part where you said 150[b]m/h[/b] shocked my brain was seeing km/h

The one bike I'm drooling over right now is the Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R. Them bikes are wicked bro. All supercharged (two-speed centrifugal) 998 cc inline-4 DOHC.
Top speed: 331–400 km/h (206–249 mph) shocked
Power: 310 hp (230 kW) @14,000 rpm


The good part is, it come stock with quick shifters, you don't have to drop the throttle when banging through the gears... Don't even need to clutch down.

They had to design a seat to Brace ones ass to keep you on the bike. See that hexagonal shaped thing there... That's your ass Brace lol grin

You missed the point sir. If it could take them that long to incorporate an electric steering in their base model, I wonder what safety features would be missing. I'm just wary of doing 150km/h and God forbid a tire goes off, you're left battling a with steer wheel when it goes stiff.

Trust me, if the feature wasn't in the car then there's a reason.

Don't forget that BMW is directly competing with Audi, Benz.

Spend sometime behing the wheel of an e36 and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
