A classic BMW 325i car rental with an inline-six heart

Drive a 325i

A BMW 325i car rental puts you behind a 3.0-liter inline-six that sends its power to the rear wheels. It's a sports sedan built around balance, and 2006 marked the final US model year for the badge. Start with BMW car rental on Turo to see what's listed near you.

Yes, you can rent a BMW 325i on Turo when a local vehicle owner lists one near you. Traditional counters often book a vehicle class "or similar," but on Turo, you book the exact 325i you choose. You'll arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans.

325i specs

Horsepower

215 hp

Torque

185 lb-ft

Acceleration

0-60 mph in 6.7 sec

Weight

3,285 lbs

Smooth, eager inline-six power

The 325i's 3.0-liter N52 inline-six makes 215 hp at 6,250 rpm and 185 lb-ft of torque at 2,750 rpm. It's naturally aspirated, so power builds smoothly as the revs climb. BMW even used magnesium in the engine's construction to trim weight.

Rear-wheel-drive balance

The 325i sends its power to the rear wheels, the classic layout for a sports sedan. The front wheels steer while the rear wheels push, so the car feels composed as you turn in. Add a 108.7-inch wheelbase, and you get a planted, balanced stance.

You'll feel it on a winding coastal road or a quick freeway on-ramp. The sedan stays settled when you're cruising and comes alive when the road starts to bend. That's the sports-sedan handling that makes a weekend drive in a classic BMW worth planning around.

Your choice of six speeds

The 2006 325i offered two ways to shift: a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic with a manual mode. With the manual, BMW claimed a zero-to-60 mph time of 6.7 seconds. The automatic takes a little longer at 7.2 seconds.

Love rowing your own gears? Look for a listing with the manual and enjoy every shift. Rather let the car handle it? The automatic does the work in traffic, and manual mode lets you take control when the road opens up. Either way, you've got six speeds to play with.

Stand out with a 325i

A 325i turns an ordinary trip into a drive you'll remember. This E90-era BMW sports sedan fits weekend drives, city trips, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. Browse classic car rentals on Turo to find more vehicles with character.

The last of the 325i badge

The 325i stands out for its place in BMW history, its everyday practicality, and its German-built sports sedan design.

The 2006 model year was the final US run of the 325i name. This E90 sedan carried the badge to its finish line. For 2007, BMW renamed its base 3 Series and kept the same 3.0-liter engine under the hood.

That makes a 2006 325i the end of a chapter — the last US model year this familiar badge sat on a BMW sedan. When you book one, you're driving a piece of 3 Series history, powered by the inline-six that carried into the next model year. It's a fun story to share when someone asks what you're driving this weekend.

Everyday practicality

The 325i seats five and gives you 12.0 cubic feet of trunk space for weekend bags and groceries. Fuel economy comes in at 21 mpg combined. With the manual, it's rated at 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

That mix makes the 325i easy to live with, whether you're driving across town or across the state. You get classic sports sedan character without giving up room for friends or luggage. It's a classic you can actually use every day of your trip, from a morning coffee run to a long highway stretch.

German-built sports sedan design

The 2006 325i belongs to the E90 generation, the fifth generation of the BMW 3 Series. BMW assembled it in Germany, and the sedan measures 178.2 inches long.

Its four-door shape keeps things practical, while its proportions stay sporty and clean. Look for the twin kidney grille, the ringed "angel eye" headlights, and the signature kink in the rear side window. Those classic BMW design cues still draw a second look at the curb, and they make your trip photos look a little sharper too.

Learn the transmission, manual or automatic, before you go.

  1. * 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.
