Thank you.

I was able to get an Engineer whose specialty was on Mercedes, BMW and Audi. These were the only cars parked at his workshop. Beastly cars i tell you. Saw some mad ass AMGs and Audi Q7's. He ran a scan.

I did a full servicing using the recommended Castrol 5W30.

The issue with the iDrive is software related and i have engaged a friend to help with an update.

On Ground clearance, the Engineer warned me severely not to increase the shocks citing driving instability and aesthetics as reasons. I quite agree with him.

On Tire Pressure, one of the sensors was bad. After getting a new one, the tires were reduced to the recommended psi and the light vanished.

On Seatbelt light, the sensor is bad. This was replaced too. My Dashboard is clean and clear and devoid of any light.

Yesterday i took it to a carwash to do a deep cleaning and vacuuming.

Whenever i drive, people turn to have a second look. One said 'Oga, na machine you carry so o.' grin

It is not everyday you get to see a sleek, silent and fully tinted BMW on the road

Everything is set and i cannot wait for this new driving experience!
Give us more pics in the Nigerian environment.

Great engine, I haven't had any engine problems since I got my car 5 years ago. Regular servicing with recommended oil should help maintain your engine. O2 sensors might be a problem at some point. The coolant reservoir got cracked (a common fault) but it's a diy job.

You got the infamous N54 engine.
Make sure you stay up to date with maintenance and as often as you can, use octane boosters.
Although it's one of the marque's most potent engine, it can cause you heart and wallet ache if you're not up to date with preventive maintenance.


Please can we talk? New to BMW and I just got the 325i 2006 3 days ago

I'm new here ( bmw E60). We can have a whatsapp group, to share more info real-time.

The current issue I'm facing is hard start when the engine is hot. Once I go for a long drive, I have to wait for the engine to cool before it starts up again, please BMW experts what may be the cause?

Would you advise a person to buy a Nigerian used 328i (between 2008 to 2010). Especially those ones the Northern car dealers usually post on IG. I'm considering it.

Those chaps up North abuse their cars. Especially the BMW owners.
Buying a BMW from up North is a gamble IMHO
Re: BMW Owners' Forum by drakeskull(m): 9:07pm On Dec 20
Run ooo. Wetin you mean by northen car dealers? If roads are good and have poor maintenance, you go hear me. Don't buy a naija used BMW ever unless you know the owner and the maintenance culture.
