Father, let Eddee win, and let Heavenlybang say he doesn't need the scanner, so that your son will take possession.

Definitely. With just 300 HP, I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I felt more power was needed.
Let me ask this here. Between the VQ35DE and the VQ35HR, which is more durable. Looking at the FX35 platform (07 vs 09).

It's front-wheel based AWD. So power is going to the front wheels by default.
Very astute.

Who tells u the A45s is front wheel? And who says he traded it in. Mercedes took the G because his term with it elapsed, they'll give u whatever car they chose to. Every car maker gives a daily driver to reviewers with high viewership. Same with phone brands too
You are right. It's AWD

This, however, is not a press car. He traded in his G55 for this.

even before watching it I had the feeling the accord will win the race,accord in most cases are faster than Camry, just like Civic faster than corolla is most cases to..and the turbo also is a boast for the accord.
Shhh, don't let Toyota fan boys hear you.

Forget super/hyper cars. I'm sure a lot of people will relate better with this...

because it has 730Hp, and it’s a Benz.
There are other Benz models that have close to the number of horses or can be tuned to that number at half the price of the above car. With better sound too.

Very disappointing exhaust note. The new particulate filter regulations have ruined exhausts, makes the new GT Black sound like a vacuum cleaner.

That said, it costs $335k+. Ridiculous pricing. I'd much rather have a Mclaren 720s, which embarrasses this across the board. Or a Porsche GT3 RS. Or even a Ferrari 488, wtf.

Honestly not sure why anyone would get this over the regular AMG GTR or GTR Pro.
You are right. The EU emissions regulation has really messed up the black series.

The V8 in the C63 AMG will also be replaced 2021. Such a shame...

You are right sir.

Mr Roland, From all your dealing so far in this business of your, customer attitudes are not the same, though am not saying the customer in case is wrong, but try and try to always let customer satisfaction be your priority. Don't be strict rather be flexible.
For this issue now just place a call the customer to arrange for return of previous gear and send the right gear to the customer.
God will continue to enlarge your coast.
You are wise.

I know, am saying the M54 in the X5 is NA no turbo, no hanky panky. just plain lovely engine though seems a bit underpowered for all that weight
It's not underpowered. The vehicle is just heavy.

The M54 in the X5 had no turbo, it's plain NA and feels underpowered for the vehicle. There is no big deal in BMW that everyone just dey fear, I did gladly buy 1 if I can afford it. We know some models are a plague to be avoided but definitely not a first gen X5
Never said it was. Please read my submissions again. I mentioned three engines and some were turbo charged (N55).

the X5 of that year is not a piece of crap, it is a really good vehicle.

funny guy read before you respond. the 3.0L i6 is M54 grin
The N54, N55 and M54 are all in line 6 I believe. Just that some have turbos others have not.

There are people still using extremely old BMW and doing fine. Nothing complex in a X5 that a technician who knows his onions can't fix
I agree. People still drive the 04/05 Range Rover too. Doesn't change the fact that it's terribly unreliable.

And Op, both the X5 and the Range Rover share the same power train. Go figure.

An excellent choice though rare to come by and needs a really good technician to handle it, Parts aren't that expensive though.

3.0L V6 may be underpowered but the 4.4L V8 na baba Nla for highway
If he wants to live a long and peaceful life, the V8 should be avoided.
A BMW is a complex car, a 15 year old BMW is just not it.

Lol. Someone was arguing and refused correction. I have chosen to agree with him. thanks
Car TalkRe: My Terrible Experience With Luvinhubby by oride: 3:08pm On Oct 03, 2020
You guys need to calm down. This back and forth will not help. What is needed is how this issue is amicably resolved.
Car TalkRe: Rough Terrain Roads. by oride:
2003 Nissan Xterra (Avoid 2004 and above).

2006 Honda Pilot/Ridgeline

2005 Toyota Highlander AWD V6

The above will give you good value for your money with the Xterra coming out tops with regards to reliability and cost (purchase in parts and vehicle). It scores low in luxury and fuel consumption, although it has a 3.3L V6 (same with the Highlander) in contrast to the 3.5L V6 of the Pilot.

The Highlander handles best but most expensive of the three to acquire.

The Pilot sits at the middle in everything and though big, is not as bogus as it looks.


P.S. I have used all three, so this opinion is based on my personal experience. This is not a Bible.

Good luck.

Two and half decades ago, I was so keen on building a rocket with a small payload(bomb).

Didnt know much about rocket guidance system so I was toying with the,idea of using combination of. trigonometry and angle of elevation to plot my trajectory and trying to develop an equation that will help solve the distance problem.
For the propulsion fuel, I was thinking of using magnesium and phosphorus ( but pure phosphorus is unstable and very toxic)
The stable one is used in making match stick heads.

Ah! Quite a lofty dream. This is Nigeria....the graveyard of dreams
At least you have a bit of knowledge on some elements and components of what you were trying to achieve. He doesn't. He wants to build a plane by reading up Wikipedia.

Do you have any aeronautic engineering experience?
Are you a trained pilot?
Are you a design expert?
Are you based in Nigeria?
What are your qualifications?

I want to talk about BMW 3 series as well as the 5series in comaparism, but focusing more on 3series because that is the type I always see around, now I want to know the the real things about BMW that made it look like a big luxury car, and how good are they in Nigerian roads compare to Japanese cars, are they very reliable as Mercedes benz, are their spare parts readily available in our markets, why do most people avoid BMs and volks even when they are regarded as German machines, I love the 3series but I am scared of getting one because I don't see many of it on our roads,
Benz and BMW score low points on reliability. However, if you have deep pockets, go for them. OEM parts ONLY must be used and these are readily available.

They are not as reliable as most Japanese brands though, but better driving experience.
