The BMW Active E for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no BMW Active E for sale by us right now. The BMW Active E for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Engine and fuel

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space, size and seats

As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Active E for a week and see how it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

The years table on this page shows where the Active E changed. Compare the years of the Active E: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Ready to ask?

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

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 Active E from us first.

Buying the BMW Active E

Does CarmaCars sell the BMW Active E?

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 Active E 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.
