anonymousjuju:Lexus GS 06-13, Acura RL, Infiniti M35/M37, Mercedes W211-212 E350. Google them, you'd definitely fall in love. I'd dissuade you not to do Bimmer 535i. But if you can get a Bimmer E60 530i M54 engine, with clean title and impeccable service history, you're game. 1 Like |

erico2k2: Manual cars are cheaper in Nigeria only because Nigerians don't buy manual. It's simple a factor of demand, nothing else. Now, in reality, manual cars are more fun to drive, as they let you feel the power of your engine / torque much better than any automatic ever could (except, perhaps, some newer tech auto trannieslike dual-clutch etc). Ever wondered why super cars like Lambos and Ferraris DON'T come automatic? They're always manual. It'd be a shame to pack a 900-horsepower beast under your bonnet and insult it with an automatic transmission. The wild animal go vex for you! 1 Like |

VeeBabs: Try to stick to what you know and leave out all the anecdotal tales. First, you have to get to a point where you'd understand that with F1-Style cars, super and hypercars, just referring to them as "Manual" or "Automatic" is antiquated. The more appropriate and descriptive terms are Dual Clutch or Single Clutch transmissions. Most supercar manufacturers have their own names for their setups, Porsche for instance terms their DCT the PDK. But referring to your statement, the last traditional "manual" transmission in a Lamborghini was probably offered in the Gallardo. No series Ferrari has had a clutch pedal traditional "manual" transmission since the 1990s. They don't necessarily use the regular traditional torque converters, but they certainly aren't "manual" transmissions. They have paddles to enable the driver shift, but do not necessarily require human input to do so. Think of them as clutchless automated transmissions. https://www.lamborghinipalmbeach.com/blog/transmission-options-for-the-lamborghini-huracan/ https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2015/02/why-lamborghini-trashed-the-manual-transmission.html https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1101921_lamborghini-manuals-are-history-and-dual-clutch-looks-like-the-future 2 Likes |

anonymousjuju: BMW parts in Nigeria if sourced correctly will be predominantly OEM. Once you've bought it you may not buy it again for a long time. Toyota parts have a bewildering aray of used, fake, sub standard copies it's almost impossible to get the OEM. In reality the parts may not be cheaper. The BMW is probably on par with the Toyota on fuel consumption if not better. Reliability is about your maintenance routine and making sure you have a mechanic who knows what he us doing. What's the chance of getting car jacked in a BMW compared to a Toyota. Or having your car headlights and other accessories ripped off by pilfering thieves. Finally, enjoy the drive the comfort and the power which you really can't get in the Toyota. 2 Likes |

There was zero need to refer to the UK in the manner you did. Return to the top of the discussion, if you will, and see the context of the references. We were talking about the cost of manual vs auto tranny cars in Nigeria, NOT the United Kingdom. My response was to explain why there is such a price difference between two identical cars, different only in the kind of tranny they have. Nigerians don't buy manual, that's why the price is always significantly lower than its automatic twin. A simple demand-driven price gap. Nobody was talking about car manufacturing. Just you. erico2k2: |

erico2k2: I see you lack comprehension. I will leave you to your fate. On a second thought, let me respond more fully to you both... The reason I didn't respond to that guy was because I hate it when people miss or deviate from the context of a GENERAL discussion and seek to overcomplicate things with A TECHNICAL response just to make themselves look smart or learned. Lambos and Ferraris come in "automated manuals" with dual-clutch gearboxes, and similar technologies. Why didn't they just call it an AUTOMATIC? Because it's NOT an automatic! The root word in that name is "manual"; the "automated" attached to it is actually a qualifier, an adjective. This means that, in its core, it remains a manual transmission (actually, two manual trannies), with techy gimmicks added on top of it to achieve faster-than-human gear shifts, in response to throttle position, steering position, obstacle awareness, and more than 20+ driver habit and other input signals collated and logged over time, with some basic implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) deciding the shift points. And you know what's funny? I mentioned this particular point about faster-than-human gear shifts in my original comment, to which the egotistic bloke you referred to responded with a painfully condescending blab. I quietly left his comment unreplied because he ended up saying pretty much the same thing I said. At least I made him do some googling assignment for a Bibliography. Feel free to follow suit. I suggest you read this: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/mind-brain-and-consciousness/201202/consciousness-artificial-intelligence-and-automatic |
