Thinking of buying the BMW 540iA?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no BMW 540iA 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 buying the BMW 540iA, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

What to check on the 540iA

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

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

Good uses for the 540iA

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space, size and seats

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Narrowing it down

Compare the years of the 540iA: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. The years table on this page shows where the 540iA changed.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Let us know

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.

Buying the BMW 540iA

Does CarmaCars sell the BMW 540iA?

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 540iA 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.
