Tochie88: How good are your roads? That's another thing to consider. Sold my BMW cos of Lagos roads, never had issues using it in Abuja. You also need to get a very sound and reliable technician before thinking of buying. Lots of mechanics in Lagos but few are sound. For parts, easily available in Ladipo. Just so you know, BMW doesn't have a good second hand value. I just don't see myself buying a car that would need engine and gear replacement as first headache. Think it through, these cars can't be managed the way toyotas are. Once you notice an issue, fix it asap. 4 Likes |

@ Tochie88, As it will be the first time to own a BMW, my advise is, forget about the BMW X3 whose engine and gearbox needs replacement. Lookout for one whose engine and gearbox are working optimally. Where is your location? Look out for owners of BMW cars within your location and collect contacts of their automobile mechanics and electricians. 2 Likes |

Hi gurus, am planning to get a used 2005 BMW 330xi automatic transmission but the car has a bad power steering rack and airflow meter. Is this ride reliable? How much will it cost to replace the steering rack and air flow meter? Will appreciate your advice, thanks all. |
Re: BMW Owners' Forum by Nobody: 4:27pm On Nov 11, 2018 |
uboma: Used 06 530i and 08 3 series and I don't see BMW as unreliable. In fact, all my years of ownership, none broke down and left me stranded. I just wonder why I see broken down Japanese cars on the road with all the reliability news I hear about them and makes me wonder if the owners lack maintenance culture. BMW has never disappointed me for once. Take care of your car and you wouldn't worry about nothing 5 Likes |

Hello Guys, I bought a Nigeria used BMW X5 E70 two months ago. It is a 2008 model 4.8i. I have heard about the goods and bads of BMW but I also like experimenting and challenges. The ride is wonderful and drives FAST. I love all your post and enjoy reading them. I will drop the pictures of my ride later. Kindly add me to the whatsapp group.

Good morning guys. I need an ECU for a bmw E90 and info if a bad ECU can be fixed. My 2006 3 series won't rev past 2000 RPM and the ECU has been diagnosed as the culprit. At, Ladipo I will get an ECU for around 120k but I want to try all my options and see if I can get for less elsewhere or better still, fix the old one. Thanks. |
Re: BMW Owners' Forum by Nobody: 7:06pm On Nov 26, 2018 |
