BMW M data analysis

How BMW M estimated annual fuel cost varies

Across 150 configurations recorded for the 2016 through 2027 BMW M, estimated annual fuel cost runs from $2,900 to $5,850. The strongest figure belongs to the 2021 BMW M (Auto (S8), 4 cyl, 2.0 L) at $2,900, and the weakest to the 2025 car (Auto (S8), 8 cyl, 4.4 L) at $5,850 — a spread of 50%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the BMW M would be misleading.

What changed for 2027

Average estimated annual fuel cost for the 2027 BMW M is $4,355, against $4,325 for the 2026 car — it rose by $30. Buyers who care most about this figure should look at the earlier model years in the table above before assuming newest is best.

How to read this BMW M data

This page lists every 2016 through 2027 BMW M record we hold for this measurement — 150 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Configurations behind these BMW M numbers

The 2016 through 2027 BMW M entries here cover variants including Auto (S8), 6 cyl, 3.0 L, Auto (S8), 8 cyl, 4.4 L, Man 6-spd, 6 cyl, 3.0 L, Auto (AM-S7), 6 cyl, 3.0 L, Auto (S8), 12 cyl, 6.6 L, Auto (S8), 4 cyl, 2.0 L, Auto (AM-S7), 8 cyl, 4.4 L and Man 6-spd, 8 cyl, 4.4 L. 2020 is the busiest model year in the record with 20 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted estimated annual fuel cost figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.

Where these BMW M figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The BMW M record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
