Thinking of buying the 1992 BMW M?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1992 BMW M for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 1992 BMW M for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the M
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
It uses the 3.5L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. 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.
The EPA rates it at 16.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 50 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $29.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the M suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Try the M on your commute, then decide. A test week in the M tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $29.40 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $294 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Your move
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
