Buying the 1999 BMW M

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1999 BMW M for sale by us right now. Here is the 1999 BMW M for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the M

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 41 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, air bags and power train; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

What the specs mean

The 3.2L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Expect about 35 litres for every 300 km, going by its 11.8 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $18.29, and a 300 km weekend about $54.87. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the M is like

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. The body is 4.03 m long and 1.74 m wide. Parking on city streets is easy. The trunk holds 283 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who the M suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Drive it on your own roads

Drive the M on your commute before you commit to it. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the M tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.29 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
