The 2016 BMW M: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 BMW M for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2016 BMW M, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 37 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and suspension. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed manual. 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.
A combined rating of 11.6 L/100 km works out to about 35 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $20.30 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 340 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the M answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Which one to look for
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.30 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
