Thinking of buying the 1995 BMW M?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1995 BMW M for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 1995 BMW M for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, air bags and suspension; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 5-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.
At 11.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 35 litres of fuel. At our price setting, it costs about $20.65 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 255 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
If the M is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the M first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Within the 1995 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. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Still deciding?
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 1995 BMW M from us first.
