The 2000 BMW M: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 BMW M; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2000 BMW M is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the M
Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, air bags and power train; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 3.2L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. 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.
Expect about 37 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.4 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $65.10 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
What the M is like
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. It is 4.80 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. EPA lists 255 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
Drive the M on your commute before you commit to it. A week with the M answers more than any brochure. If the M is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 2000 BMW M from us first.
Ask us about the 2000 BMW M
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2000 BMW M for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the 2000 BMW M

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 2000 BMW M 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.
Does the 2000 BMW M have recalls?
NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2000 BMW M cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $4340.00.
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.
