The 2020 BMW M for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 BMW M; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2020 BMW M in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists 11 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. 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. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-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.
Fuel use is rated 9.4 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $49.35 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the M is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 4.95 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
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. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.50 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Still deciding?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
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 2020 BMW M from us first.
Ask us about the 2020 BMW M
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2020 BMW M for you and reply within one business day.

Does the 2020 BMW M have recalls?
