BMW For Sales

Purchase Price: Prices vary widely based on model, year, and condition.

• • Used BMWs: Common in Kenya due to lower prices. A 5-10 year old 3-Series might cost KES 1.5M – 3.5M, while an X5 SUV could range from KES 3M – 7M.

  • New BMWs: Sold through official dealerships (e.g., BMW Nairobi). A new 3-Series starts around KES 8M+, and X5 from KES 15M+.

• Additional Costs:

  • Import Duty (if importing): Typically 20-35% of the car’s value, plus 16% VAT.

  • Registration & Insurance: Comprehensive insurance is costly (3-5% of car value annually). Include registration, inspection, and licensing fees.

  • Maintenance & Repairs: BMW parts are expensive. Labor at specialized garages is pricier than for regular cars. Set aside a maintenance fund.

2. Choose Your Model

• Consider fuel type: Diesel models are popular in Kenya due to fuel efficiency and torque. However, newer petrol/hybrid models are also available.

• Popular models in Kenya include:

  • 3-Series (F30, G20): Balanced luxury and affordability.

  • 5-Series (F10, G30): Executive sedan, common as used imports.

  • X5 (F15, G05): Luxury SUV, suited for Kenyan roads.

  • X1/X3: Compact SUVs for urban driving.

• Road Conditions: If you frequently drive on rough roads, consider an SUV (X5, X3) over a low-slung sedan.
