I urgently need your opinion. Whats Your Take ? Change Benz Over BMW by Wealthoptulent(m): 11:10am On Dec 30, 2018
Due to facts of Nigeria's Economy and fact ensuring doubt in its environs, am caught between my thoughts and choice.
Am a BMW fan and i started with BMW 328i 05 model for long time years precisely, due to certian reasons like stature back then, young n unmarried and police n SARS thought about thinking am into illegit [mind you am a senior staff and in academic line at a Federal higher monotech. In nigeria] just the way i pimped the ride was issues all over places even at work. So after 5 dents on car via accident or incident just in a week then, was advised to sell off due to belief that some people are unhappy when it comes up like this. Made use of their thoughts and believes and i sold it, later advised to buy toyota till all comes down and free and fair, i have used two toyota camry which i kicked off with 2005 model and sold 5 months because one i was so small in stature and i see its wasnt big daddy but rather called BIG for nothing because no luxury in it just 2.4 eng capacity. So i used another camry for two years now i want to go back to BMW, 3 series is my favorites due to body structure, seen my choice 328i [E92] and 328i [E90] but was told E92 engine goes for 500k incase error occurs later [attached pix is a model of e92 with engine prob at my mechanic's place]. But am a civil servant with side hustle and married as well with bills up around i cant raise 500k shortime to put car back on road if at all ish comes on engine! So i saw a c230 2004 four plugs and was told its economical as for Maintenance. I dont have idea about benz or used it before, so i dont have trusted mechanics or known part dealer unlike BMW . When i joined Toyota gang i was in the very 1st wrong hands one brother NURE! i changed steering rack four times in 4 months and also power steering oil pump.
Now am cuaght in my choice for next car that will give me what i want and satisfied. Toyota Aint my true groove about a car, sometimes feels like in helicopter when you above 130km/h on roads anything above 130 you will be needing assistance from FRSC to cut you out of the wretched body or bring you out from ditch or bush! Please experts on cars come bail my choice! This is my fourth year of owning car so am not a novice rather am looking for satisfactions in all ramification both luxury and drive delivery pleasures. Let me remind you i need one with less stress and once solved prob at a time, so can have other things attended too and it wont become another looting way in my resources. I just need experts on Benz i have full details about BMW. Mods please push up front .. need this so wont start new year with new troubles.

If u never get money sir...dont buy benz

Benz is costly to maintain dan any other car.

Starting from servicing. Benz is serviced with mobile1 engine oil. 13 to 15k

Any slight part of benz is more expensive.

But benz is rugged and strong on ground. Even enter 180km/hr u dey go....ive never seen where benz summersaulted. But ive seen almight toyota, Honda, bmw, golf etc.

Also, u wud enjoy the luxury in benz. I would recommend C230 (v4)..dont buy niger used.

You wud never regret.

1. Beer parlour talk not good for you


Benz is costly to maintain dan any other car.

2. fallacy of generalisation. An S-class is far cheaper to maintain than a basic VW Phaeton with V6 engine not to talk of the W12 fitted phaeton. Benz is not costly to maintain.

Starting from servicing. Benz is serviced with mobile1 engine oil. 13 to 15k

3. Mobil 1 is not only recommended for benz, alot of cars use it besides mobil is a poor man's oil beside some oils.

Any slight part of benz is more expensive.

4. Baba you don buy Volvo part,VW part, Nissan part? don't be fooled original brandnew toyota part will send you back to the village not all this about to die tokunbo or chinco part wey no dey last.

But benz is rugged and strong on ground. Even enter 180km/hr u dey go....ive never seen where benz summersaulted. But ive seen almight toyota, Honda, bmw, golf etc.

5. Any car can do 180km/H comfortably if it's built for that purpose you can't compare death wish Nigerians using toyota corolla sport or camry SE like they driving Audi RS8, those cars were not built for such purpose so when you take them beyond their limit expect to see baba God soon.

if you were in North of naija you see more Peugeot, benz, VW somersault or completely crumbled. car types breaking down or accidented depends on location in the country where they are been used more.

Also, u wud enjoy the luxury in benz. I would recommend C230 (v4)..dont buy niger used.

6. Which luxury does the benz offer that a BMW (ultimate driving machine) won't offer? BMW (ultimate driving machine) been a better car than benz just has less followers in Nigeria. also it's I4 not V4

coming from a BMW (ultimate driving machine) I don't think a slowpoke 4cylinder benz would leave a positive impression.

You wud never regret.

BMW has no followers in Naija only few car enthusiasts who aren't even interested in dolling out a lot of cash for used specimen.

if the BMW you can afford would make you happy, do buy it, there is nothing more heart satisfying than waking up everyday and falling in love with your choice. you can also try a benz if you wish to taste something else.

I also heard VOLVO is the standard now it's the much talked about vehicle after peanut butter grin volvo users am at home come and bite me
