Punchy 382 hp M40i acceleration: B58 engine propels 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds with sports exhaust acoustic note.

Comprehensive powertrain choice: T-Badged turbo/twin-charged petrols, D-Badged diesels, B-Badged 48V mild hybrids, and T8 PHEVs up to 415 hp.
Sub-2,000 cc KRA duty advantage: The entire 1,969 cc engine family qualifies for Kenya's 25% excise tax bracket.

What’s not so good

Slightly reduced rear headroom vs. X3: Sloping coupe roofline reduces rear passenger head clearance for tall adults.
Firm M Sport suspension on 20-inch alloys: Communicates road texture over corrugated gravel tracks.

Premium unleaded fuel requirement (91+ octane minimum) on T4, T5, T6 petrol engines.
AdBlue / Diesel Exhaust Fluid replenishment required on D4/D5 diesel models.
High replacement cost for air suspension compressors and high-voltage PHEV battery packs over time.

Firm sports-tuned ride on 20-inch wheels: Transmits road texture over unpaved corrugated tracks.
Compact rear legroom: Rearest cabin space best suited for medium-height adult passengers.
