They LIED to us about this BMW | BMW E90 review in Nigeria

[@papaniiampah1801]

I appreciate this video, it’s the same everywhere even in Ghana. People run away from bmw but honestly it’s one of the best cars ever in terms of driving dynamics. I like bmw because most parts are cheap in Ghana compared to the so called reliable Honda and Toyota. Every car is reliable depending on the owner. I dnt think a car maker will intentionally make unreliable cars. Bmw and most performance cars break quickly due to the pressure most owners subject them to ie drifting, burnouts , drag races etc most Toyotas and Hondas dnt go thru that because Dey are not built for that and the technology in those cars are simple to run and not sophisticated like the Germans. The Japanese like to keep it safe while the Germans like to push it to the limit. For me BMWs, Mercs and VWs are the best cars ever made. My opinion

[@autojando7223]

Nobody, I repeat, nobody should own a BMW or even any European car without at least having a basic OBD reader that sells for less than 10k these days. You will save yourself a LOT upfront if you make this decision early. You can fix seemingly complex problems in modules like the DME just by clearing error codes. Ordinarily, DME problems are the kind that will lead you to be towing your car from one kazeem to another because these guys don't do diagnostics at all. This particular machine as Crank has rightly said is a unicorn here in Nigeria, but it gives you the most pleasurable driving experience. The steering feedback, the brakes the suspension articulation and compliance is not something words will explain. You just have to drive one to understand. Great content as always Crank!

[@OzSaudarna]

Clearing error codes is NOT a way to fix problems. It hides them only to resurface later when they have become more serious… your post is good but this statement is misleading

[@autojando7223]

@@OzSaudarna I would partially agree with you but let me explain where your assertion is not always the case. Just as my statement connotes, I said "you CAN fix seemingly complex problems in modules like the DME just by clearing error codes". Anyone who is familiar with diagnosis on car brands like BMW, AUDI, Peugeot, Renault, Citroën and Mercedes will have a clue of what I meant. Error codes can set in a module when connectors have been disconnected and reconnected. A simple spark plugs replacement can cause a mechanic to disconnect myriads of connectors. Even after reconnection, some modules will still keep error codes in freeze frame data and run the car based on that stored logic. This can result in performance problems like rough idling, throttle hesitation and so on. In this type of scenario, clearing of error codes can work wonders. I have seen a car go into a car wash only to come out with no throttle response. This one was a lexus rx330. I scanned the car, cleared the codes and that was all. It is true that error codes are supposed to guide a mechanic and lead him to where the problem is, and that's my thought process when I'm on a job. But I've also experienced a good number of times when I clear error codes so I could see which ones will come back only to find that the problem was solved. The kind of repairs we call "ghost" repairs. I'm hoping that my message is clear now.

[@masudaliyuabubakar9019]

Please we need a review of the E46

[@walnshak]

An amazing car. Been using the 328xi six speed manual AWD for over eight years now. Parts and fixing can be expensive and till date our mechanics aren't very familiar with fixing the car. Mechanics gave me more problems than the car itself. But regardless, its still the best drive and I intend to keep it for a very long time. Once you start loving and driving this beemer, it becomes like a hobby you can't get enough of. Driven newer models and they still don't give me the smoothness the E90 provides. Dem really finish work for this car.

[@nationz7401]

Yeah that’s my car, indeed a good car. Bought a Nigerian used for 1.2Mil late 2021, was the best decision ever coz everybody was saying o should go for a Corolla 2005 which was over 2M. If properly maintained you no go get any problem at all.

[@umarfaruk9468]

hi @nationz, my fear is getting a good mechanic that knows BMW. the only mechanic I have seen so far is d oyinbo mechanic that featured in one of crank's videos (I don't even know his shop) can you recommend a mechanic for me. i will like to buy one plus is this car very low (considering bad roads). can this car do uber like weekends

[@hadeyeencah]

@@fuscothegeneral4123 e46 definitely. Only issue with e90 is if the water pump fails

[@KhalidAbubakar123]

I have always used a BMW. I have been using the e90 for the past 5 years. It's definitely one of the best fun cars and the driving dynamics are unmatched. But I'll seriously advice you against buying it if you're on a budget or looking for a low maintenance vehicle. This car would definitely take more than it'll give you and you'll definitely hate yourself if it's your only car or daily driver. Asides that, it's generally fun and classy. No other midsize car would try you on the road.

[@joshuaiyama5503]

[@jameskhalid9564]

Keep up the good work crank! A lot of Nigerians don’t enjoy driving experience because their minds have been tuned to always driving a Toyota car.. I am currently driving a Mercedes’ Benz c300 2013 as my 2nd car. I used to drive a Peugeot 406 before and all I can say is I am never buying a Toyota saloon car with my money. If I want to go economical then I will buy a Honda Accord. Period

I drive the e83 x3 and I can tell you it drives better than many sedans. They are very well made with bullet proof engines and gearbox. What to note is they have very narrow tolerance levels. Keep all governing systems (oil, coolant) working as specified and the engine and gearbox never goes bad

[@MagnificentDaddy_MD]

Even for another 10yrs. This car will still be faster than a lot of new cars today. Best car to buy without regret. But please make sure you get the N55 engine, just to be on the safe side.
