BMW!!! Sweet to drive, makes you feel like a real man. Adrenaline pumping. Take the curves at ridiculous speeds. Delicious exhaust tunes. Gives you class. But when the problems starts, body go tell you.

buyIng Naija used BMW is like blindfolding yourself and crossing Ikorodu road. Your chances of getting hit is like 98%.

I used to think it is only in Nigeria people struggle with these cars, Until i relocated. It is a universal thing. I was obsessed with the Marque from childhood. Owned 6 of them in past. It was problems and problems all the way.

I actually went to church to do thanksgiving the day i fell out of Love with them.

Op just count your loss, learn your bitter lessons and Move on.

The worse thing is after you fix the car problem. You will never trust that car again. Whenever you drive it, your mind will keep telling you something will go wrong on the way. It will continue until you let go of the Lemom.

I know say some people no go dey happy with this post. I sincerely apologize for every inconvenience caused. Truth is a very bitter Panadol. You will need Coke to swallow it.

This one burst my intestine �

Too bad. It seems the newer models break easily or is it because they come with innovative tech that needs some getting used to. It's like when cars came installed with AT, those versions were the worst but today almost everyone would choose an AT over MT.

Please what's the best gear oil for BMW X6 e71 xdrive 35i
Re: BMW Owners' Forum by Snoopyjaga: 1:49pm On Aug 29, 2020
It's been a long story with me and my car.. but I'm driving it now .. and it drives extremely great after some few changes ... I had to hold the dealer that sold the car to me and everyone involved with the deal , they tried to fight back .. but we came to a conclusion which is they must buy me a new engine and a new gear ... I just got the car back recently after they've changed the gear and the engine... And the car is just like new now . And it drives well ..

whats the best BMW sedan with little to no issues and go very long without major issues with normal regular maintenance?

Also can take some level of flood.

I’m not sure about the flooding part but most M-engines bmws are more reliable that newer ones. Example are bmw e46s, bmw e60 not exceeding 2005, x5 and x3s with the M engines.

If you can, stick to sedans with lesser engines (4plugs). You’ll have issues with parts and specialists for newer models; even Coscharis sef dey suffer am.

Shalom.
