Person wey fit afford Benz and BMW no dey reason fuel and maintenance cost. Most people who complain weren't really in the financial bracket of people eligible to drive a luxury brand. Finally, kindly stick to what your finances can cater for. 26 Likes |

Holybwoy: BMWs are very prone to devaluation hence their very low second hand value. Another reason is BMWs are very expensive to maintain and in a place like Nigeria with suboptimal maintenance technology, you are going be to caught between paying exorbitant fees at a dealership or payless for a trial by error mechanic. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Cost of maintenance and availability of competent mechanics especially in Naija are the major issues why majority prefers japanese cars to German. That Kazeem who suggested you go for Japanese already knows that the moment you buy the Beemer, he'll lose you to Coscharis or other advanced auto workshop hence the reason for his advise but if you ever drive a German car, you won't think of driving Japanese car again. 12 Likes |

Resale value of any non-jap mobile is very low. Except you use a dealership or high tech mechanic, it is assumed you have abused the car and you’re selling it off because of a recurring (most likely electrical) problem. If you don’t plan to resell or you don’t mind reselling at a low price, then you can go for it. 11 Likes |

I use Volkswagen CC, German are simply the best. Look for a good and upto date BMW mechanic to advise you, don't listen to japanese mechanic. They can condemn even the best cars in the world just because they don't know how to fix it. I got peace of mind since 2 years ago that I bought my VW cc, unlike my Lexus es that almost finished me. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Why Are BMW Cars Unbelievably Cheap? by Isobug: 9:54am On Oct 21, 2021 |
I have been wondering why a BMW X6 will cost less than most not too fancied SUVs and Crossovers. At a time I had to search for BMW car forums to see if it's because their cars are too problematic but to my surprise I was disappointed. It was just usual complaints just like other car owners. So Op I also wonder with you. BTW please if there's a reason for this I also want to know because I want to launch my X6 soon 1 Like |

A neighbour then, who happens to be a pastor was gifted a a Nigerian used BMW, his life changed .. he goes late to church, comes home late. On several occasions the car sleeps on the road...it came to a point people were praying that he should be delivered of the car... The only truth here is that we aren't matured for BMW. BMW is a machine meant for the rich and advanced country where their service centers are rampart 10 Likes 1 Share |

The reason is simple. 1) the car will be with the mechanic 90% of the time meaning if you don't have a spare car you will still be using public transport. 2) they Dont call it "Big Money Waste" for nothing. The car will drain you of money you could use to solve other problems in your life. 3) how many BMW do you see on Nigerian roads there for a Bmw mechanic will need to go hungry or change to other car brands on Nigerian roads this simply translates to, if you car stops say on you way to Abuja from lagos the nearby mechanics may not know how to locate the fuel pump or even the set of tools required to address the problem. Now imagine the cost to ship a mechanic from lagos to the location of the car and availability of spare parts. You may have to tow the car to lagos or Abuja Holybwoy: 11 Likes 1 Share |
