If there is a popular high-end compact vehicle in Toronto (and the GTA overall), that is the 3-series. I would say it is like the Audi A4 in Montreal: the most popular among clients who like to drive powerful all-season compact machines. So, if you are looking for a BMW in Toronto, this is what you need to know first:
Top Selling BMW Models
The #1 selling BMW in Canada, as I mentioned before, is the 3-series. From around 20,000 - 30,000 vehicles sold in all Canada every year, the 3-series represents between the 30%-45% of the delivered units. The same way it is so prevalent in Toronto, it is even more popular in the Vancouver area.
#1 - BMW 3-Series
The 3-series has been declining in sales during the past few years (see the table below), although it remains as the top-selling BMW vehicle. You can see a full review from TheStraightPipes guys for the new 2019 edition.
| 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
| 12,500 units | 10,000 units | 9,600 units | 7,500 units | 7,700 units |
The BMW 3-series, on average starts at 940CAD/month tax. inc. when leased for 36 months with 0 down payment for a 24,000 Km/year lease.
#2 - BMW X3
The most popular BMW SUV, the X3, is on track this year to get very close to the number of sales of the 3-series. The preference among Canadians to go after SUVs, how these perform in winter and the interior space preference has been definitely a key factor. See the Yearly Sales table below:
| 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
| 5,600 units | 5,200 units | 4,500 units | 5,400 units | 5,700 units |
Regarding pricing, it is very close to the average price of a 3-series. The BMW X3 starts in Canada, for a 3 years lease, at about 940CAD/month tax. inc.
The rest of the line is very variable and ranking changes, depending the year. Usually, positions #3 to #5 are among:
And it is worth to mention that the all-new BMW X2 is selling pretty decently.
