The sport sedan that sets the benchmark
Drive a 3 Series
On Turo, you book the exact 3 Series you choose from a local vehicle owner — not an "or similar" stand-in. The year, trim, and drivetrain in the listing are what you get. Browse BMW car rental options near you, then compare each BMW 3 Series rental by rating, reviews, and price.
Behind the wheel, rear-wheel-drive balance keeps the 3 Series composed on curving roads and highway on-ramps. Expecting rain or snow? Look for a listing with available xDrive all-wheel drive, and bring the crew — there's seating for five.

Turbocharged punch, rear-drive poise
The 330i's turbocharged four-cylinder makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, so merges and passes come easily. It pairs with an eight-speed Steptronic automatic and a 48-volt mild hybrid system for responsive power around town and relaxed highway cruising. Craving more? The M340i steps up to 386 hp.
Curved Display tech that keeps you connected
Every 2026 3 Series comes standard with the Curved Display. It joins a 12.3-inch driver display and a 14.9-inch center screen into one sweeping panel. Speed, maps, and media sit right in your line of sight.
Wireless Apple CarPlay links your phone without a cable, and cloud navigation guides you to your next stop. The car also supports a digital key, though how you'll get access depends on the listing. Pair your phone before you pull away, and your playlists and contacts are ready from the first mile.
Everyday practicality for road trips
The 3 Series seats five and packs a 16.9-cubic-foot trunk, so luggage for a long weekend fits without a fight. It's a sedan you can live with, whether you're shuttling clients across town or taking friends to dinner.
At 31 mpg combined in the 330i, it stretches the miles between gas station stops on a long drive. That means more time with the windows down and less time at the pump — exactly how a road trip should feel. Plan a coastal cruise or a cross-state visit, and the 3 Series keeps up without draining your budget on fuel.
Stand out with a 3 Series
A 3 Series is the right pick when you want a luxury sedan that still feels engaging to drive. It suits business trips, a weekend escape, or a test drive of ownership before you commit to buying one. Want to explore more cars at this level? Browse exotic and luxury rentals on Turo.
Top 3 Series features
Five decades of sport sedan heritage
Three strengths set the 3 Series apart: its heritage, its drivetrain choice, and its range of performance.
The 3 Series has been building its reputation since July 1975, when the first one debuted in Munich. Seven generations later, the current car carries that lineage forward with turbocharged power and modern tech.
For 2026, the M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition marks 50 years of the nameplate. Even in a 330i, you're driving half a century of engineering — a fun fact to share from the driver's seat. That history is part of the appeal: you get a car with a long track record, refined over seven generations, rather than a first attempt.
Rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive
You can choose the drivetrain that suits your trip. Rear-wheel drive comes standard and delivers the balanced, playful feel that sport sedan fans look for.
Heading somewhere with unpredictable weather? Available xDrive all-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels for all-season confidence on wet or snowy roads. Look for "xDrive" in the trim name — 330i xDrive or M340i xDrive — so you know exactly what you're booking. Rear-drive cars shine on dry, sunny routes, while xDrive gives you extra peace of mind when winter rolls in.
One nameplate, two levels of performance
The 3 Series spans a real performance range under one name. The 330i delivers 255 hp and 295 lb-ft while returning 31 mpg combined — a strong all-rounder for daily driving and road trips.
Step up to the M340i, and output jumps to 386 hp while still returning 29 mpg combined. Pick the 330i for efficiency or the M340i for extra punch. Either way, the listing tells you which one you're getting, so the car that shows up is the car you chose.

Top tips and things to know before renting a 3 Series
Get to know your 3 Series
A little prep makes your 3 Series trip smoother: confirm the trim, set up the tech, and book early for the best selection. Here's what to check before you go.
Start by checking the year and trim in the listing. A 330i and an M340i deliver different levels of power, and rear-wheel drive versus xDrive matters if you're expecting rain or snow.
Selection varies by city, so browse local options before you lock in dates. Start with BMW rentals in Los Angeles, BMW rentals in Miami, or BMW rentals in New York to see what's available.
3 Series driving tips
Book early, check the fuel, and set up the tech before you leave. Reserving ahead gives you more 3 Series listings to choose from, especially around holidays and busy weekends.
Note the fuel level at pickup so you know where you stand at return. Before you pull away, pair your phone and set up the Curved Display the way you like it. Then try the drive modes to find the feel you prefer for city streets and open highways.
How much does it cost to rent a 3 Series?
The cost to rent a 3 Series depends on the year, trim, trip length, extras, and delivery options you choose. Each listing shows its price up front, so you can compare before you book.
You can save in a few ways. Book four or more days ahead on a non-refundable trip, and you'll get 10% off. Duration discounts also kick in at three days, one week, and one month.
Planning a longer stay? Trips of 30 days or more carry no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Explore long-term car rental on Turo for monthly options.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
