Next comment please.....

samdbash: Morning Lungwan, there are some BMW mech & electricians that I've been using for about 10yrs now & they're quite reliable. They are around Gudu & u may wish to try them. Call me up on 08176317317 for directions bro...

xerotop: The E46 xi has the same engine and transmission with d regular rear wheel drive.
Only difference is that the xi drives on shaft which is alil expensive to replace.
The good news: u dont get to replace often cos its does not get broken easily.

xerotop: I must confess u get mind. Cant venture a flooded BMW.

I hope i don't regret the decision.
But the price was too good to reject.
The fact the owner wanted $6600 initially sought of gave me an idea the repair might have been properly done.
Also, it was not salt water. I for run without looking back
It is 50-50 though

yungboss: that's like a give away at that price, lets so the cosmetics of the car sir...
I don't know about the possible issues of the xi's, but a flooded car is s doubtful purchase for me...don't you think you may likely have issues much later? You getting it for a client or for yourself...

izyoku: Well in all my years of dealing with cars the one set of cars I particularly try to avoid is flooded cars. My reason you can not particularly access a flooded car to know extent of the flood-water damage unlike an accident car u can access very easily and analyse your risk. The major complication I think flooded cars have is the electrical issues and in any case that for me is the most complicated issue any nigerian car owner can gropple with. Our car electricians knowledge is just not there yet except for very few you know their work.
In m assessment you have taken a risk I just hope its a well calculated one but I'd rather a accident car than a flood car. Best of luck bro

yungboss: hello Emperoh,
it depends on the level of damage, sorry is this an e46 or an early e90 model?

Gee2728: like you said its a risk...... some have tried and gotten away with it. just make sure u spare a 100k for the unknown.

yungboss: i always see au.hanson as a nice guy with a friendly disposition, gentle and humane...keep it up, a good testimony that paints your name colorful. Well done brother...

gratiaeo: Some of you nawao!
Pls are you from Anambra state, If you are where you from?
Am from Obeledu, Anaocha LG and i will authoritatively tell you that all the 9 town that make up Anaocha LG got @ least 2 road each from Obi administration

StarBoard: Two-fighting in the dug-out.

One reason to laugh in a while

pistons2: Can I get a Toyota Highlander 2009 model, Limited trim with thumbstart and Navigation package? OR A Toyota Venza 2009 model Leather interior through you and at what prices. Thanks

lungwun: Yes I am. Are you? If you are, that's great.

The are lots of mods I would like to do with my car and painting it would be the first step.

lungwun: Wow! Its all dead in this section of the forums.

Get to posting lads! The Mercedes thread has us beat!

Anyhow, does anyone know the paint code for Imola Red (Imolarot II) or Electric red (Japanrot) my e46 is in Lagos and i'm thinking of doing it up in one of these colours. Before sending it over to abuja.

Its current colour is Steel Blue (Stahlbalu) which is a ridiculous colour. Anyone?

yungboss: if I present before you an e46 330i and a w203 c320, which would you pick?

yungboss: Emperoh, thought you wanted the e46.
it seems you are falling in love with the bigger brother...I'm surprised at the mileage rollback...one has to really be careful...

kuntash: I was almost wondering if this is the emperor I sabi on Nairaland , what kinda guide u need again, knowing very well that the quality of petrol dispensed at our pumps are not same quality as what these oyinbo car makers recommended thus using to judge their MPG.

having said that, you know also that a manual tranny taste for fuel is less than that of an auto drive.....

The M54B30 fuel mpg which is in that car as far as I am concerned could be negligible compared to the younger broda of M54B25 that's in 525i (Manual drive), even though you would get more torque and power.

The most important thing is to keep your car in top shape and timely maintenance is the key... and put at the back of your mind that our kinda fuel here cannot give you the city miles of 18miles per 3,77 liter of fuel.


moreso, when the car lands, check for lots of things like the catalytic converters, it would amaze you that these things are sometimes removed at the ports...

Uncle Kuntash!!!
Good to read from you again!!!! Been a while. E be like u sabi this BMW wella. Make we yarn nah? Drop me your contacts thru the email on my signature. I go halla you for phone!

Meanwhile, auto sales intelligence no be mechanical knowledge oo. I love them German cars but there was a reason i left a more appealing Audi A4 for Benz and BMW. So it means i am looking for practicability and cost effective German car [size=5pt]which german car cheap to keep self?[/size]

Anyway, i will try out that BMW and see how it goes. Won't bid more than $5000.
In the mean time, drop me ya digits make i halla you
