Good day car gurus. My comparison is based on maintenance cost and availability of parts. I'm based in Port-Harcourt. I hardly find Bimmers on the streets, it's more of Toyota and Lexus. However, BMW mechanics here are scared of the N-engine which the 2008 BMW X5 carries unlike the M54 engine for the X3, which most BMW mechanics are familiar with around here. Perhaps, I want a ride with good interiors and also availability of parts around.

Thanks guys.

Person Dey call top of the line flagship sedan and flagship suv and entry level premium suv and the person Dey concerned about fuel economy and maintenance cost?

Baba, go buy Corolla or civic and rest!

I am more concern about availability of parts and maintenance. Thanks

Did you find out about the history of maintenance from the previous owner? What kind of engine oil was he using on the E39 before it changed ownership?

Surprisingly the previous owner doesn't know the oil, all he did was to take it to an auto care shop and get it serviced

alphaNomega:
Castrol 5w30

Total 5w40

Forte oil Synth 5w40

For transmission oil, you'll use German Adler. Quite pricy, but worth it. Make sure you REPLACE your transmission filter too

Thanks, I really do appreciate

Honda experts in the house, i greet y'all. I have a Honda Accord euro manual tranny, 2003 model. After I changed the engine the car has been giving me issues, it started few months after change of engine. The car goes into limpmode, it doesn't rev above 3000rpm. After scan it threw the following codes:

P1157 O2 sensor bank1 sensor 1
P0141. O2 Sensor Heater Bank 1 Sensor 2
P2135 HONDA - Throttle Position Sensor 'A'/'B' Voltage Incorrect Correlation.

I have changed MAP sensor, all available throttle body and pedal sensor. An Electrician has checked all wiring, tightened all loosed connections and all fuses checked. Infact a lot has been done on the car yet no solution, the problem still persist. I haven't changed the ECU though. Please I need expert advice

Update: I have changed the ECU to a new one and the car rev past 3000rpm but the problem the ECU had is difficulty in starting the engine. I scanned the car again with the new ECU installed, the P2135 (Throttle Position Sensor 'A'/'B' Voltage Incorrect Correlation) code disappeared but the O2 sensor code was still there.

I think the new ECU installed doesn't have cold start (from my native sense). I honestly can't find a matching ECU after searching all available parts market in my locality.

Dear car gurus, my 2004 Honda Accord navigation/radio/HVAC screen just went blank. I removed the car battery when I was travelling and decided to fix it back so I could warm the car. When I started the engine I noticed the nav screen is blank but I could still play DVD/cd and even turn to preset radio stations. The problem is the the screen doesn't come on. Gurus in the house pls help, thanks.

There's also an oven bake shop around that market by okumagba estate, where you have the police station. Not familiar with the street name but it connects you to a popular old college around there.

Where is that you re talkin about, Asaba?
