Quick answer: importing a used Bmw 5 Series into Nigeria lands at roughly $22,950–$51,300 all-in — FOB China $15,000–$36,000 plus freight, 35%+ levy and clearance.

FOB price: $15,000–$36,000 depending on year and mileage.

Landed cost: $22,950–$51,300 = FOB + ocean freight (~$2,200) + 35%+ levy + port clearance.

Import duty: expect 35%+ levy, usually calculated on the CIF value rather than the invoice price. Ask us for a worked CIF breakdown for the exact car.

Age limit: Nigeria caps imported used cars at 12 years from first registration — we check the exact plate/registration date before quoting.

Steering side — read this first: Nigeria is a left-hand-drive (LHD) market, so every unit we stock is LHD and ready to register.

Clearance port: cars clear at Lagos Apapa.

Our 5 Series stock: 55 units, model years 2012–2024, 15,000–270,000 km, 2.0T 252PS L4. Send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.
