His reason is that it is a big engine and if anything spoils I'll pay nothing less dan 200k for fixing and difficult to get mechanics for it. Also that a mileage of 187k for bmw is terrible and the car has been driven to stupor and dat only Camry can endure dat long...oga lomomike pls your sincere assessment will be needed here even tho I know you're a Jap fanman. Others too are highly welcome. Honest assessment and counsel please....thanx! RaDaZaBaNa: |

RaDaZaBaNa: Entertainment, trendy irrelevancies and personalities are what attracts the most on social media, naturally that is what the mods will prefer to ensure the popularity and continued acceptance of their platform.Most persons on social media are simpletons out for fun and are naturally put of by technical and intellectual topics. Moreover in this morally corrupt and depraved society,vanity, sex, nudity captures the interest of people more than anything not only on social media but in virtually all aspects of our life.God help us. 2 Likes |
