Thinking of buying the 2021 BMW M?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 BMW M for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2021 BMW M, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the M
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and engine; have those parts checked.
What the specs mean
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid, with rear-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 27 litres, from its 8.9 L/100 km rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its length is 4.79 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the M
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the M for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the M answers the big questions. A test week in the M tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.80 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2021 BMW M from us first.
