A demeanor is anyone who knows
Golf4*fire= scrap..... (1)
Golf4=Scrap= #1,200,000
Demeanors law states that after introducing fire into a car it becomes scrap no matter the amount it was purchased.

demeanor is a chemical element with symbol Dr...........

It is in group 133 of the VAG periodic table

Got it.
Is it explosive when boxed into a corner?
Is it inert at low temperatures?

In Biology, a demeanor is anything or anyone that tells you the truth, while taking in oxygen and giving out carbon mono oxide all this while photosynthesis is ongoing.

Its a shame our youths are shallow spiritually. I pity the coming generations

Shallow spirituality may just be the way out of this quagmire we find ourselves in.
Less belief in abstract concepts in the sky and refocus on the rewards of using our physical hands and brains.
The most religious nation on earth we are and also the winner in all negative indices bar none.

Mercedes has developed the 2.2-liter CDI four-cylinder turbodiesel engine to deliver a remarkable 369 pound-feet of torque at a mere 1,600 rpm.

Wow! Totally missed this considering it was even done over 7 years ago.

The poster above asked an interesting question.

I know this car is a V8 but has anyone seen a 7 series with less than V8 engine? I saw an S200 or some such nonsense one day. Why would anyone put a 4 cylinder engine in such a behemoth? Why would anyone buy it?

Never seen a 4-pot.
The E38 had a straight-6 728i amd also a 6-cyl 730d available for Europe

What is an S200?

Oga Shagati. Quick question: do you pay custom duty for the parts for your car when they arrive the shores of Nigeria?

I currently use a door to door service.

But I once shipped prsonally via courier and NIPOST called me to their office and I was given a bill of 2,000 as "customs duty" for my items.

So, your final judgement on the 325i (other people with experience can talk o)

Still waiting for you to continue the restoration project o.
Thanks.

Yes I stand by the 190bhp 325i inline-6
It is the facelift E46 and parts and good hands to fix are not in short supply (in Lagos)

The fuel consumption is surprisingly frugal with a full tank range of at least 700km (Redeemed and MFM traffic not included). Good handling and touring capabilities are also in its favour.

Go for a well kept one and there should be no regrets

Pic below taken somewhere between Ilesha and Efon Alaye in 2014. Tank was Just below half on the trip from Lagos to Ikole-Ekiti (circa 300km)

Welcome back from hibernation sir.

EgunMogaji:
Congrats on the new sled. This is what separates men from boys. It's not always all about the latest and alleged greatest. Thanks and well said!

1) Name suggestions: Adolf, Helga, Hans, Bridgette, Helga. I like Adolf

2) Most striking change is wheel/tire combo. Any time, any day. Done

3) Sharing a pic of Helga, my 1998 740iL. She has moved on but she provided much-needed excitement. She's a beaut

These are great handling cars and surprisingly fast once you get comfortable with them. Adolf sincerely should not move the way he does. Acceleration and speed belies it's 1.8-ton bulk

Good luck.

PS: Chasing after Audi S8 or A8 but if I see a clean 2001 740 or 750iL, I may have to just bite.
