About the 1997 BMW M

For a car while yours is off the road, the 1997 BMW M is one of many cars on CarmaCars, each with its own page. After a collision, your insurer may pay for the rental once your adjuster approves it. When your adjuster approves a rental, we can bill your insurance company directly.

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.

It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $19.60 in fuel at our price setting.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

What the M is like

Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The body is 4.43 m long and 1.71 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is 283 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Renting this car

None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now. Ask for your dates, and we reply with what we can offer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

From request to keys

Every booking starts as a request: the car, the dates and where you want it. Nothing is charged to send one. We review it and reply with an offer that shows the whole price, delivery included when you asked for it. The booking is confirmed when you approve the offer and pay it.

You can see every car's calendar and rates before you send anything. The monthly rate covers a booking of up to 365 days. Last-minute plans are fine with at least 2 hours of notice.

Driver basics

Every driver must be 18 or older with an Ontario G2 or G licence. From 26, no age fee applies; below it, a daily young driver fee does. Bring the card you paid with and your original licence to the handover.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held for the rental and released after the car comes back and is checked. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

Still deciding?

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
