Car financing: the 2016 BMW M
No 2016 BMW M is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2016 BMW M in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the M
NHTSA has 37 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and suspension. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo with 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.
It is rated at 11.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203. The EPA estimates US$4,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the M
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Try before you buy
Try the M on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.30 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Questions first?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
