The BMW i3: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no BMW i3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the BMW i3, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Room inside
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
A week with the i3 answers more than any brochure. Rent the i3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Compare the years of the i3: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
One more step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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 BMW i3 from us first.
Ask us about the BMW i3
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a BMW i3 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the BMW i3
Does CarmaCars sell the BMW i3?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a BMW i3 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
