About the 1997 BMW M

Searching for Luup alternative? Here is the 1997 BMW M: what it is like and how to rent it. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.

Engine and fuel

The 3.2L 6-cylinder does the work, 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.2 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $196 at our price setting.

Who the M suits

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Practical details

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. It is 4.43 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. EPA lists 283 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Can I rent it?

This exact car is not in our fleet at the moment; a request asks us to look for one. Ask for this exact car in your request, and we tell you what we can offer. Meanwhile, 10 similar cars are listed below. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

What we check

From age 18, with an Ontario G2 or G licence, you can send a request. A daily young driver fee applies to drivers under 26, with no maximum age. Your licence and the card you paid with come with you to the pickup.

You need one of three things in place for damage to the car: OPCF 27 on your own policy, a credit card that covers rentals, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is released after the return, once the car is checked. Licence and identity checks happen before the booking is confirmed.

Booking, step by step

Start with a request. Choose the car, the pickup time and the return time, and send it without paying anything. We answer with a written offer: the car, the dates, the price and the deposit. Nothing is charged until you approve it and pay.

Every car on the site has a page of its own, with its calendar and its rates. Trips of 7 days or more use the weekly rate, and shorter trips never cost more than it. Same-day requests are fine with at least 2 hours of notice, when the car is free.

Next step

Pick the car that fits the trip and send a request.
