Gee2728: Found this @ a friends dealership for #7.5mil. Its a well kept M3,

Abeg make we debate is it worth it.

yungboss:
Gee, if you know what the M3 possess, you will know it is worth it. On the Auto section, some ordinary cars go for more than that

Emperoh: No one is being practical here.
maybe i need to do my own findings.

Owners, what does it cost to keep any of the two cars??
if the benz is cheaper to keep, trust me, i am dumping the few more torque and responsiveness of the bmw for the benz
And if it's the bmw? Well, God must have buttered my bread. Heads of tail, i win. . . . . . . ok, unless fixes and spares turn out to be expensive and i mean, more expensive than the normal Jap mobile!

BMW is a marvelled sport machine to behold, i entered a friend's 318 yesterday and suddenly fell in love with its sportier nature after cruising around town with him in my sport benz c180, my only fear is the rate at which this machine is parked for ages to decay in several compounds in the south south, these scares me often as if its a machine that may be too difficult to maintain.

To be on safe side, buy a brandnew or near new bemmer. Checked out a 03 325i 2days ago, it looked clean in black with 3 person memory seat but cld not figure out why the check engine light was beaming.

yungboss:
stuffs like that shouldn't be so much of a problem, a scan would reveal a thing or two...

Gee2728:
Boss make I just tell u the truth, was turned off cos it was not a coupe.

smartchoice: That BEAMING light could cost you the price of your Kompressor

smartchoice: well a c220 is one of the MOST problematic W202's and wouldn't touch it with a long pole!

adeniyisavage: i have confirmed that the bushings have been worn out...i would like to know how much the bushings or the entire control arm cost?
please anyone?

Emperoh: Ok guys, here is a knotty issue.

Just imported a 2006 BMW 525i with 98k miles on it.
Car was cleared and taken out of the port yesterday but kept shooting up overheating.
Parked it somewhere safe since we can't tow.

This morning, we discovered the radiator hose is pulled.
Reattached it and yet it won't solve the problem.
We bled the radiator to see if it solves the issue but no shenow.
We had to eventually tow it to my place in Festac and then ran a scan.
Partner didn't give me any codes as yet but says we need to change thermostat. I suspect it is stuck.
But i will need a second scan to confirm what is wrong. However, i suspect two thing. A bad electrical component of the water pump which means changing the water pump or a stuck radiator. A

But can anyone guide me on what other likely issues to look at before another scan.

Again, where is the battery located? We only saw a terminal in the engine.
My suspicion told me it is in the trunk.
But i am not there physically and my guy tells me it's not where i suspected it to be.
A quick help will do.

@emperoh

Also check for gasket leakage. Look properly arround the engine compartment for oil spills and also ur coolant reservour for oil.
If u find any, replace gasket. They r not expensive.
If no oil spill, and ur fan is functioning. Then ur water pump and thermostat are the culprit.

Pls word of advise
If the person with ur car is not a BMW specialist, quickly run and take the car away from them.
Only and only a BMW specialist should be allowed to touch ur car

Best of luck

xerotop:

Ur battery is in d trunk on the passenger side.
There is a cover on it which you have to open before you see it.
Thats d best E60 u can get. I bet u will enjoy it when the issue is resolved.

As for the over heating, is your fan working?
If it is, run a complete scan again. But i suspect ur water pump. Also check ur radiator properly.

I hope u solve this soonest

Best of luck
