That’s alright, thanks chief
Do you know any reliable BMW dealer?

No, sorry

kobams:
Thanks, I’ll look at that
Please do you have any idea how much the 340i costs, both foreign and naija used

No idea of the cost but a 330i of same generation cost 40m, the 340i should exceed that by a little margin

kobams:
Thanks chief, I was also looking at the BMW 330i 2018 it costs almost the same and I’ve seen quite remarkable comments about it, what do you think? Or is there a BMW around that range that you can recommend?

i believe that is an F30 BMW 2015 to 2019 model years.

It was fitted with a B48B20 engine which is a 4cylinder turbo charged engine. Dont know whats with you and turbo engines

from research i got online, it is a fairly reliable vehicle and
1. Expect gasket replacement after 100k miles which are very hard to get to meaning, it is an expensive fix and should be done by a qualified technician "if the need arises"
2. The turbo according to users online is rated at 140k miles before you may need to replace, not always the norm though.
3. from the car repair group that i belong, finding BMW parts is always easy in cities like Lagos , Abuja and PH brand new, though they are somehow expensive.
4. BMW is very rare to come by because they are expensive to maintain and they require premium gas and fluid, though maybe dangote petrol can help with better octane fuel.

for me i would have preferred you pick a 340i, with the straight 6 turbo charged engine, more balanced, more refined and highly reliable.

kobams:
Good day chief, I need your advice, I’m looking to get a Mercedes Benz C300 2017, I want to consider any other options before finally settling for the one to get, please can you recommend other cars I can look into equivalent to the c300 or better

That vehicle was fitted with the M274 a 2.0 turbo charged 4-cylinder which was known to have a piston defect for the US market. Maybe you should do a C400.

Also I am not a fan of turbo charged vehicles not to talk of one that is a 4-cylinder but ensure
1. You do a VIN check for the specimen you intend to buy, to confirm if the engine was part of the defective one and if it has been fixed under warranty

2. You can comfortably afford the maintenance cost interms of the oil and original recommended fluids

3. There are capable hands near your location to handle maintenance and fix.

There is no replacement for hearts desire though, because the Benz badge is premium, but you can check a Lexus ES or GS they are close in terms of luxury

KDInteriors:
Good Morning Sir
BMW has been my dream car especially the M3 or M4 but I don't know much about it's durability, maintenance and also if it can breakdown bad when it goes into a water puddle just like some Benz

And maybe a comparison between the M3(2018) and Dodge charger (2015-2018) would be appreciated

I dont expect someone who can afford such car to have problem with maintenance. If money isnt an issue the BMW is a better car to drive than a dodge charger, the BMW does everything better.

But when you have bought it, i would advice you have a medium scan tool to atleast scan for error codes on your own to pickup minor issues b4 it blows to high proportion,

you must also have a modern garage to for regular and timely maintenance and fix

you should also have funds available to avoid expensive fixes when you begin experience minor issues.

Above all, these cars are not what one should be pulling everyday, they are meant for occasional joy rides like weekends, special occasions, so it would last if you have an everyday car other than one of these choices.

But why? Why are so backward and wicked this side of the world

Cos I don't think poverty caused this one too

Tell your Oyinbo friends their great grand dad came to Africa and stole humans as slave, Scammed our fore fathers of their inheritance and stole Africa Natural resources all in the name of them being higher animals. I don't condone the stealing of vehicles but the white people too are no saint when it comes to stealing.

If naija oil never dry finish, it is a hoax.

importing into Nigeria has always been hassle free, but try and Export goods especially agricultural perishable goods (which Nigeria has advantage of) nah wahala, all Govt agencies want to milk and scam you, by the time you are cleared, goods already rotten at naija port

Monkey pox kor, Monkey king ni.

Me and my bush meat cannot be separated by ordinary disease, when there is hunger in the land, you chop any animal wey waka reach yourside

They are one chance hungry mofo. I pray she is quickly rescued before they do serious bodily harm to her with severe beating with hammer. Those people are evil.

weyreypey:
I knew you were going to say that. Pay on delivery. How much is shipping

10k per bunch

weyreypey:
Send them to me

Send the money with my balance too

Come and buy mine for 1500 per bunch, but you will pay for waybill

Inflation, low purchasing power of the buyers and the cost of goods and services no go make person collect loan.

People are seriously cutting down on spending and to sell goods now is a big problem

But

Agriculture is life people must eat even when they riot.

A tuber of yam in my location is starting from 2k upwards, though i bought 3k own got 2 pieces, they were not dried but fresh type, the size was sold 6k last two months ago. i believe yam is now affordable. i got those yams in 1st week of july

i stay in one forest area in Ondo state

What does Niger really have that will help boost revenue for such project. May be they are thinking of helping them with importation and exportation, they can use Nigerian ports for loading and the rail transport via land to Niger and vis versal.

I hope the loan will be used judiciously and the revenue generated can service the loan repayment if not, its another burden on tax payers meaning more inflation and currency devaluation

Budget cars with low maintenance and you put Toyota there car parts are generally expensive but Toyota and Lexus parts are far expensive in all segments.

Also there is no cheap vehicle to maintain in Nigeria, no matter how careful you are, the roads themselves will damage the car and don't let me add fuel prices cause those fuel efficient cars are around 40L and full tank can only do two weeks tops to and from work. That's 60 to 80k of fuel monthly.

olaboyeh:
omor painfully that tsx I was looking at is sold.. that car scarce die

yes it is very scarce in Nigeria. Just buy what is available and affordable

olaboyeh:
please help with one

2010 Acura Tsx
2008 camry
2007 Avalon

naija used o
the avalon seem cheaper than Camry even though better loaded... please why is this does it mean it's a bad car... it's a second car

Acura TSX 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6
Camry 2.4L i4 and 3.5L V6
Avalon 3.5L V6

out of the 3 i will pick the Acura because it is more premium out of the three vehicles, has the best 4cylinder engine and will out perform the competition. It is just a very premium honda accord of same generation so parts is not an issue. Buy the i4 for fuel economy and v6 for optimum performance.

Avalon will be my next pick, cheaper than the camry, not a robbers magnet compared to the camry and more premium than the camry in offering. Though the 268hp 2gr is very solid and can still keep up with certain competition. fuel economy is average

The camry is my last choice, the 2gr is same as avalon while the 4cylinder 2az is prone to oil burn except it is the japanese made variant. It is a robber magnet, parts i am certain would be more expensive than avalon.

kelvinmnet:
Thanks bro.
I checked Oyingbo over the weekend and was told the tranny is 350k right now.
Tranny was 250k as at March this year.

Any idea on the name of the sensor inside the tranny causing the slippage?
I have scanned the tranny several times without any code.

The gear is bad, even if you dismantle and clean the fault is still there. Continue to manage the gear and save up for replacement. EOD and DC gear are problematic though 05 to 07 model years were better than 03 to 04

Instead of condemning the act, some people have turned the thread into a tribal war. Did the hoodlums asK the passengers what tribe they belong b4 stealing and attacking them.

Igbos and Yoruba youths have a lot of orientation to pass through cause rather than think with their brain they rather prefer to drag each other in the mud

Emm22:
Good day everyone, i need a honest opinion between Lexus Es350 2015 and Avalon 2015, which one is a better option?

They are both almost identical in Performance, but the Lexus has more premium to it in the area of accessories been standard on it and optional on the Avalon

Earthstorms:
Still wrong move to plant the offspring of the parent stock.

At best you will get 50% tenera, 25% dura and 25% pisifera. This ratio is even if the parent plant was pollinated by another tenera. If it is pollinated by a dura palm, then the tenera ratio will drop lower.

And there is no way of knowing which is which until they are mature. So you will just waste years raising palms that will not give you the yield that you are expecting.

Don't be penny wise, go for Nifor or other certified seeds and be sure of what you are planting.

Note that I do not work for any seed company. Just a friendly advice.

This your reply is a little bit flawed in the sense that
1. Supergene produces offspring related to it, so eventually the seed produced from the supergene is still going to be a supergene.

2. Dura, pisifera are local oil palm with their own traits and if you have been following oil palm for years, Tenera is majorly 80% of oil palm plantation available in Nigeria to locals, the local varieties have almost gone extinct. Dura species are dwarf oil palm while pisifera are tall oil palms.

3. Supergene is a specially bred Tenera that can produce even without fertilizer application and also drought resistance, because water availability affects the oil palm ability to produce female flowers.

4. As for your pollination explanation, oil palm is an hermaprodite and the major pollinating agent is the weevil found around the palm.

5. If as you say the parent stock will be affected, I think the only trait if pollination was done by insects apart from the weevil would be trait of tall and short but not the high yielding characteristics of the supergene.

I am willing to learn more from you also and would await a reply from you on my submission

Earthstorms:
Wrong move.

Buy certified seeds.

The yield and performance of the crop you will get from this your method might make you regret for decades.

Those who buy Nifor seedlings are not stupid.

The parent stock is initially from nifor

Sellfish:
60psi is standard for our hot Nigerian road

35psi na for cold abroad road

An average tyre has a maximum psi of 50, so if you pump 60psi what do you think will happen to you and your car for express?

person get mind dey pump 45 to 50 psi for car tire he come dey change tire like water. maintain 35 to 40psi to avoid blowout and damages to tire

More pix of my nursery. Pix 4 is what i hope to achieve in future.

Thank you for viewing, you can ask questions and i will try my best to answer.

When you are planting oil palm, ensure the sprouted seedling or germinated seedling has the nut attached, especially those using already germinated seedling from bunch found on the farm. If you plant only the leave with root, the tree if it survives will not produce and fruit, it will only continue to grow tall.

Now you have two major challenges your nursery may face in the infant stage.

1. Birds who pluck the young leaves for nest making, you can mitigate against this by using net, i used mosquito net to cover the nursery because my nursery was constantly harassed by small yellow birds who continuously pluck the leaves for their nest.

2. field mouse/bush rat, i work in a plantation so interaction with bush animals is always frequent. The bush rat would dig out the germinated nut and pull it from the stem, a single bush rat can destroy 25 stands in one night, i escaped this buy using net then my workers dug out the hole and killed the rat. Though after 4 to 5 months, the rat issue will stop so one will just need to focus more on the birds.

pix 2 to 4 is what my nursery looks like from beginning to current state.

chai road crash bad gan, pray not to be involved in one when i buy my latest Honda Accord

rip to the dead, quick recovery to the living
