I ignored your message, just to avoid stupidity. You don't broadcast rumor as news.

Point to any government agency that supported this rumor with a press release.

What is 70% and what is 40% ? Read understand before you come on here for argument.

And perhaps if all agent charge you high, you can go to custom office which you car is offloaded and clear it yourself.

Regards.

such an arrogant way to respond to a customer.

I would advice all Nairaland users to be weary of this agent

customs have reduced tariff from 70% to 40%

But you agents are still billing us with the high rates

My ship is berthing next tomorrow
Reduce the quote and we can get to work

2016 Mercedes-Benz GL450 :- 4.8m

2015 Hyundai sonata :- 2.850k

2015 Ford F-150 :- 2.7m

But customs reduced tariff from 70% to 40%

So clearing cost is now way less

So this your quote needs to be reduced

Hello boss, I have two BMW with transmission issues. Won’t shift gear. I imported them that way

Do you have a workshop / auto center where I can bring them to for you to review

RyanAutomotive:
Good evening sir,

Thank you for reaching out and providing the details. Based on your description — a 2011 BMW X6 xDrive50i that won’t shift into gear — this is a critical transmission issue that requires professional inspection, not a quick fix.

🔧 Professional Diagnostic Insight

1️⃣ Likely Electronic Transmission Fault
BMW X6 transmissions (ZF 6HP/8HP series for this year) rely heavily on:
• Transmission Control Module (TCM)
• Electronic solenoids
• Sensors (input/output speed, gear position)

Symptoms like no gear engagement usually indicate:
• Failed shift solenoids
• TCM fault or communication error with ECU
• Valve body malfunction inside the transmission

⸻

2️⃣ Mechanical Considerations
While electronics are often the culprit, mechanical causes cannot be ignored:
• Low or contaminated transmission fluid
• Stuck clutch packs or bands (internal wear)
• Torque converter issues

⸻

3️⃣ Scan-First Approach is Critical
Random attempts to “force shift” or replace parts without proper diagnosis often lead to:
• Further transmission damage
• Expensive and unnecessary repairs

⸻

⚙️ Ryan Automotive Workshop – Professional Take

A properly trained BMW transmission engineer will:
• Connect a professional scan tool (like Autel MS909/S2 or ISTA-D) to read transmission codes and live data
• Check fluid condition and pressure
• Test solenoids, valve body, and TCM functions before recommending repairs

At Ryan Automotive Limited, we handle complex BMW transmissions daily and ensure diagnostics come before part replacement, saving time and money.

⸻

✅ Professional Summary & Next Steps

For your 2011 X6 xDrive50i:
• ✔️ Do not attempt to drive — this can damage the transmission further
• ✔️ Bring the vehicle for full professional inspection immediately
• ✔️ Diagnosis will identify whether the issue is electronic, mechanical, or fluid-related
• ✔️ A detailed report and fix plan will be provided

Chief, know what you are saying. I have been dealing with KAMAL1 since 2019, he has never showed any sign of scam. For the fact that you had misunderstanding on a deal doesn't mean he is a scammer.

I come in Peace

To me he is a scammer. Someone can change overnight

He initially called me and told me to send first to him. He also stated on the call that he is the direct owner of the funds not reseller or middleman. I opted for Wese90 or Macfortune. Wese wasn’t responsive and we settled for Mac fortune and we created the group and I sent naira to escrow and he disappeared and called me with another scam sounding story

I am sharing my own experience

If he has delivered for you in the past, then that is your good luck. To me he exhibited scammer tendencies.

KALMA1:
$146 UBA Dom funds available

I would advise all Nairaland members to be weary of this aforementioned user. Obviously a scammer looking for prey.

I contacted this user to purchase this stated Africard funds and engaged the service of Macfortune as escrow. After sending naira equivalent to the escrow, this user disappeared and came up with the excuse that the owner of the fund is not available to send it.

This scammer initially forgot he made mention to me that he is the direct sender and no third party involved

I implore every member to be very careful and stay away from KALMA1
