Courtesy car with this car
Want to know if the 2012 BMW M suits a car while yours is off the road? Read on. 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
The 4.0L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 6-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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 44 litres, from its 14.7 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $25.73 in fuel at our price setting.
What the M is like
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.91 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 311 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the M suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
