Quick answer: importing a used Bmw 3 Series into Kenya lands at roughly $17,150–$37,400 all-in — FOB China $11,000–$26,000 plus freight, 35%+ (KRA) and clearance.
FOB price: $11,000–$26,000 depending on year and mileage.
Landed cost: $17,150–$37,400 = FOB + ocean freight (~$1,800) + 35%+ (KRA) + port clearance.
Import duty: expect 35%+ (KRA), usually calculated on the CIF value rather than the invoice price. Ask us for a worked CIF breakdown for the exact car.
Age limit: Kenya caps imported used cars at 8 years from first registration — we check the exact plate/registration date before quoting.
Steering side — read this first: Kenya drives on the left and requires right-hand drive (RHD). Most cars sourced from China are LHD, so for RHD markets we source genuine RHD units (common for Japanese and British-market models) or arrange a compliant RHD conversion before export.
Clearance port: cars clear at Mombasa.
Our 3 Series stock: 32 units, model years 2013–2025, 10,000–209,000 km, 2.0T 184PS L4. Send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.
