The 2016 BMW 2 Series for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 BMW 2 Series; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2016 BMW 2 Series, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 8.9 L/100 km combined, it needs around 27 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $155.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the 2 Series
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 283 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the 2 Series suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the 2 Series on your commute before you commit to it. If the 2 Series is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.58 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Questions first?
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
