Actually, it's the long awaited BMW rival to the SLS i'm waiting for.I hope 9ja roads (especially Lagos roads) will be motor-able for these super cars in the near future. What do you think?

@ owowalapo - thanks for your observations, the thread isnt just for the display of pictures of Benz, but to discuss on issues positive and negative - common problems and solutions.

if you read my first post, that was what its meant for, pls keep your posts coming and lets abide by the intent of this thread. thanks,

ehen, @ xerotop, I beg no be quarrel O, just as e be for naija so called pop artist now, if you like BMW, start your thread and we are not comparing here,
meanwhile, if u are a nigerian, you and I should be ashamed for not being able to boast of manufacturing " I PASS MY NEIGHBOUR GENERATOR", rather than singing praises for the innovative breakthrus of other countries while we consume and always dream of consuming!
Start a Bimmer thread and focus there ok?

When was the Audi R8 made? Is that not a recent addition to the Audi family and the super-car community? Even the BMW M6 will dust that R8 any day, anytime.BMW is for real driving enthusiasts.Like me rephrase your illustration :

Mercedes = Comfortable driving experience
Porsche = Mind blowing driving experience
BMW = Pleasurable and reassuring driving experience
Audi = High end tech on wheels

Ferrari,Lamborghini,Bugatti,Pagani Zonda and other super-car makers have been in the game and have carved a niche for themselves. The rest are meeting up even Asians are joining the super-car level. . .you need to see what infinity and Lexus have out on the streets (cars worth hundreds of thousands of $$$$$$).

kabukabu50:

BMW has no supercar.

I disagree with that. No intent to credit or discredit you.

BMW Has a supercar, the BMW M1. Production ceased in 1981/1982.

Though its no longer in Production, there are rumours of plans to recommence production.

Turbocharged racing versions were capable of producing around 850 hp (634 kW).

PICS BELOW.

kabukabu50:

I dont dislike BMWs but they have fallen off,this E30 M3 is the best Bimmer ever made in my opinion

In my opinion, the best Bimmer ever made is the BMW 8 SERIES. Occasionally classed as a supercar.

You won't go wrong.

@ all I have a PDF Owners Manual for W202 1995-2000 as soft copy, its size is 1.8Mb, and I cant upload more than 200kb, can anyone advice on how to upload files of larger size?


meanwhile @ Kabukabu, can I get the service manual elsewhere? I have scout well enough online for it no way,

kuntash:

Thanks Kabukabu and German,

I have not really found a reliable mechanic even though there would be many out there , , hence I try to fix simple things on my own and do follow up with some mechanics.

I rarely get satisfied with with the way most mechanics repair cars in Naija, many of them are in the attitude of " IT DOESNT MEAN, IT WOULD WORK THAT WAY , OR THE OTHER TYPE CAN WORK WITH IT" SYNDROME , those things drive me real sad. For example, even though the W202 is designed to be hot, it has a certain degree of temperature it gets to before the fan motor engages and starts working as auxiliary or in panic mode etc, but here u see mechanics and car owners bypassing fan motors to alternator etc, and many more!

Thank you German 007 for correcting kabukabu50. I thot the bmw Z series was a supercar??
