The 1995 BMW M: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1995 BMW M for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 1995 BMW M before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the M
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, air bags and suspension; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so budget about 35 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $20.65. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 255 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the M for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Choosing the right one
Within the 1995 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
