- Crank drives a BMW E90 328i for a week and discovers it is the easiest modern day BMW to own and drive in Nigeria. This car is about 3 million naira in the Tokunbo market but it is underbought because of the BMW stigma in Nigeria but with the 328i E90 you get to enjoy the maximum potential of a BMW .

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
Pray u are able to get the car this year as well 🤲
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.
Finally, i've been waiting for this video.
Thank you man ,I love your shows ....please we need more
Boss your audio presentation has upgraded to another level and I love it. Well done sir
Crank nice to have you back I myself would be considering having one was thinking about the Lexus es350 of 2007-2009 before but with this you changed my mind people portrayed bmw as problematic cars and no one goes near it
Glad to see you back crank
Yo solid content bro. For ppl like us wey always wan look different this is a car I'd definitely go for
Please we need a review of the E46
Broo ..you suppose dey do cars review with crown for your head!👑...cause you are a king when it comes to this👑👑💥
There’s actually a lot of e90 in Abuja
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!
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
@@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.
@@autojando7223 fair point there sir! 👍
Bro u are doing a good job✌️
Boss do for a Lexus es350 probably an 09 model and a Benz c300 010 model. Keep up the good work!
We like to see review of e46 I love everything about the car
Would love to see review video on toyota land cruiser prado
Love this...hope I make money this year and get thus.
I love Bmw, I swear down. Nothing drives like it
The first car I plan to buy
Happy u did this review
Ur head get oil
I know what you mean my brother! I drive the 535i and the premium (which comes with manufacturer-back entertainment TVs and GPS, and the nick nack) The premium I drive are rare because of all the addition. I know what you mean, bro, it is always joy driving it, lovely, going through the road is like a sharp knife going through bread! Quiet low to no noise interior!
Nice one bro 👌
Pls do review on 2016/2017 Honda accord v6 touring
Here in South Africa these where all over the place back when they where new.
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.
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
very honest opinion. Corolla is just a juke box on wheels
@@umarfaruk9468 bmw mechanic plenty for Lagos and mind you bmw don’t like managing and doing try and error because I also use 320i here at Abeokuta
My car, I love it so much🔥🔥
I don't know if you got this but a lot of us don't know alot in Nigeria. Things like how to get a tinted permit, how to legally use customized plate number, how to legally cover plate number and things like that
I love this car ❤️
234 drive now has a drone hurray 🎈 🎉 nice video, superb explanation crank my man as always ..
Thanks 👍
Crank changed his hairsyle. It was only his voice that made me recognise him
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.
Nice video. Thanks for the education.
You know how floods can catch up with one all of sudden without prior notice.
How does this car do with bumper or bonnet level floods?
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
i love this cae
Talk about the station wagon of this car. Swagger of sedan practicality of suv.
Finally a BMW I’ll buy 328i
Someone came to Apapa GRA 😺😺...Nice Video
Kindly do a review on Honda Accord 2008 to 2012 please
Waiting for review of the E46.... I think it's the only BMW that stood d taste of time in Nigeria
Facts. 💯. This E90 with electrical water pump. Of course we all know Nigerians lack maintenance culture with them using water as coolant. The E46 is a beauty. Timeless design
Please I want to know if the E46 is more reliable, I'm looking forward to getting a BMW but na maintenance dey fear me
Which one is more reliable the e46 or e90.. wanna know bro
@@fuscothegeneral4123 e46 definitely. Only issue with e90 is if the water pump fails
That water pump issues alone is alot compare to it advantage. Water pump issue can lead to engine knock.
Crank I’ve missed you
Beamer! Nice video, Crank. Makes me want to buy sef
You should!
@@234drive have a plug?
Please do a video on Hyundai 2013 Elantra
Finally !!!
Because you reviewed bmw e60, i subscribed to your channel. Other Toyota drivers cant relate, until they test one
Which one is better to buy? The e60 or this E90??
@@fuscothegeneral4123 Go for the E90 if it’s your first bmw

Thank you crank, I guess I'm ready to make my decision now.
You are buying one ?
@@234drive I need one. Do you have a seller?
Nice ride
my beemer is the love child of the E90
What of the 328i 2013 ?
please make a video on the honda evil spirit
Pls....I want you to do a review on sienna pls
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
Well said
💯
Lexus is250 or 350 drives better than c300
@@obvinpro ha then that means this c300 can't be compared too my 2009 bmw really not saying Sha but u can't even stand to compare both cars lexus and is with my bmw 328i

Yepppp same applies to literally any car
Please crank, what do you think about the 328i 2013 model????
Can you do a bmw F10 review?
Which one is the best C350 or 328i ??
Which of the models have speed pedals?
Pls u mean this particular bmw doesn't have the general electrical issues that comes with bmw?
Amazing whip; will get to take it for a spin someday.
But I'm curious: Crank, what happened that you cut off your dreads?
Maybe it's his new year resolution lol
By the way 318i is amazing as well, unfortunately, it’s not so popular in Nigeria because they don’t have them in America hence the unpopularity in Nigerian … but this quite popular in Europe …
true, European version of BMW is better than the north American version
What does it take to maintain a 318i ?
I heard it’s not as good as the 328 and 330 and fails
Please talk about es350
Can I upgrade the front when I buy it?
Do a review for Lexus gx460
We would
Can he compit with C300 Benz or IS350
hello from europe. the most reliable bmw in my mind is E39
I don’t like performance car but I’m sold
Can we get a review of Hyundai Elantra 2011, 2012 please.
Okay Sir
Can you please do a Compare this with camery... Cause honestly speaking we Nigerians are becoming camery and corolla addict...like that car is everywhere in every state 😂😂
the 318 is a performance Corolla bcos it's super economical like Corolla yet performs 100 times better. as a matter of fact the spare parts is comparably cheaper
@@mikelo_GIL you're correct my Gee I currently use this mine is 2009 with an upgraded dashboard.. yes I have a lovely screen.. 😍
It tells you practically everything that goes on with the car infotainmently it's awe really and very durable
@@adeolumicheal4062 what about parts?
@@feranmiadeniji7488 that's the issue it boils down too personal preference
If you stay in Lagos trust me u get parts cheaply easily and effortlessly... parts are very affordable some parts even cheaper than camrys corrolas and others
But I have too order which I get the next day without issues
One of the major reason we all think it's expensive boils than too the mechanics you use they see a bmw and they think it's time for rip off
That's if you meet a bad one that causes more damage to it lol 😆
I'm speaking from experience 😌
You need parts I buy directly from the dealers and yes I'm not in Lagos but I get my parts before 11am the next day
@@feranmiadeniji7488 once you get the good parts for your BMW it's going to last a very long time. because German cars are to last. about the plastics the best way to maintain from breaking and cracking is to avoid parking under the sun with your window fully up
water pump 400k, for a car below 2010, my cars water pump is around 25k , new one. BMW dealt with me first hand , it will never be my first choice . im even considering a porshe b4 bmw
Which car water pump is around 25k? Sorry I'm yet to but my first car.
I’m guessing it’s an E90 or 92 .. those cars are great if maintained well.
I sent this before the video was released sooo
Waiting for your review on BMW X6M 2014. My dream SUV
run o
@@mikelo_GIL nothing to run about. As long as you have a good mechanic who won't spoil your car. And you service your car right. You won't have issues
@@JSTAN4LIFE the back sits are extremely uncomfortable for rear passengers because of the sloping roof line
@@Johnlondon54 the back sits are not for very tall people. That's why its a sport SUV. LAMBOGINI URUS is also the same thing its back sit head room isn't that high.
3:38 is kiliing me😂
Wait till more Nigerians get the G20 models. Even the regular 330i with the M Sport package rocks.
However, let’s be honest, overall, BMWs are a headache when they breakdown. High maintenance galore 😂
I will definitely use this car for bolt/Uber 😂
How to know the N55engine?
One thing I do not like about this car is the i-drive, you said it's better like this but I guess we all have our preferences. It's either I get a third party screen installed on it or save enough for an f30, would like you to review (either f30 or e90) 335i as people say that is a turbo i6 so repairs are different and hard for mechs, what's your take on that. Would love to hear from you
Love your videos btw, keep it up. Most valuable car channel in naij, whether review or any other thing, I'd give you that!
I didnt finish this video before I typed this, you mentioned the 335i 😂 It's the sweet spot for me, any i6/v6 that produces around 300hp, come to me babyyyyyyyyyyyy
Please can you do this type of review for the Lexus is350
We have done that in the past
@@234drive what of the Mercedes Benz e350
@@234drive can you do the same review for the bmw e60 528i
Can I first timer on a budget still buy this car in 2024?
What year is this?
This car is nice the only issue I have with this car is the issue with parts and the yellow screen in its interior
You can install a modern screen and like we said, if you buy the 328i, parts are available and affordable
Is it auto or manual
please how about the 325i
I have this car. Can someone recommend a sound mechanic that is very skilled and empathetic.
Is the N55 engine more durable than the N20 straight-4 on the f30 013?
yes it is
I currently use this ❣️ sport mode is scary 😳👍
Is it reliable
@@emmanuelchukwu5260 I'm proud too say bmw got me as a fan for life cause of this car and this ain't at the top in madness just a comfy sedan... reliability boils down too you making sure you get a car with no hidden faults you're good.
@@adeolumicheal4062lol the c class is better than this which is the c300 w204 I’ve driven both and a user who used to drive the e92 2014 drive a cla 250d he said it’s better than the Bimmer.

Only the price margins makes me punda on the point really but I think all Good cars which ever you get enjoy it too the fullest 💕
