Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which BMW X1 generation is the best one to buy?+
This depends entirely on your priority. For the driving purist who wants the classic, sporty BMW feel, the first generation (E84) is unique, but it comes with a serious warning about the timing chain issues on its N20 engine. For the vast majority of buyers, especially families, the second generation (F48) is the best choice. It is far more reliable, significantly more spacious, and still offers an enjoyable driving experience.
Do I need xDrive (All-Wheel Drive) in Kenya?+
For most city-based driving on tarmac, sDrive (two-wheel drive) is perfectly sufficient and more fuel-efficient. However, xDrive provides a major advantage in terms of safety and stability during heavy rain and is much more capable on the gravel or dirt roads often encountered on upcountry trips.
Is the X1 a true SUV for rough terrain?+
It is best described as a crossover or "soft-roader." Its increased ground clearance is perfect for handling the majority of Kenyan roads, including graded dirt tracks. However, it is not designed for serious, challenging off-roading in the way a Land Rover or Toyota Land Cruiser is.
I'm concerned about BMW maintenance costs. Is the X1 expensive to own in Kenya?+
It is a premium German car, so you should budget for higher maintenance costs than a Japanese equivalent. The good news is that the X1 is very popular, so parts are widely available from a competitive network of independent suppliers in Kenya, which helps keep costs more reasonable than for rarer luxury models.
