BMW Car Shipping
BMW has one of the widest model ranges in Canada, from the compact 2 Series to the X7 and the M lineup. Most BMWs ship fine on open carriers. M cars and the i8 are worth shipping enclosed.

How to Ship a BMW in Canada
Standard BMW models are typical dimensions. M models have lower suspension, wider bodywork, and more aggressive aero. The i4 and iX are electric and ship normally. The i8 (discontinued) has butterfly doors and very low clearance, making it one of the few BMWs that genuinely requires enclosed transport with a lift gate. If your BMW has M carbon ceramic brakes, let the carrier know. Carbon fibre roof panels on M3 and M4 are durable but expensive to replace if damaged.
When you book with Automoves, the driver calls the day before pickup to confirm timing. At pickup, they inspect your BMW, photograph every panel, and you both sign a Bill of Lading documenting the vehicle's condition. Your car is tracked through Automoves ONE from pickup to delivery. At the other end, the driver does another inspection and you compare the car against the pickup documentation before signing off.

Common Questions About Car Shipping
Yes. Open carriers move the large majority of vehicles shipped in Canada and your BMW is insured for the whole trip. If you want the extra protection of a sealed trailer, enclosed transport is available on any route.
It does. A compact sedan takes up less room and weight on the carrier than a three-row SUV or a pickup, so the larger the BMW, the higher the rate. Your quote is priced on the exact model.
Yes. Lowered, lifted and otherwise modified vehicles ship every day. Tell us about the modifications when you book so we assign a carrier with the right ground clearance and loading equipment.
