Drive a 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is a five-seat compact luxury sedan that pairs a turbocharged engine with an eight-speed automatic. Choose rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive, and start your search with a BMW rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book your 3 Series from a local vehicle owner. Pick the trim and dates that fit your plans, then arrange a pickup that works for you.

Turbocharged power with a mild-hybrid boost
Both 3 Series engines run on turbocharged power with 48V mild-hybrid assist and an eight-speed automatic. The 330i makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft from a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder. The M340i steps up to a 3.0L turbo inline-six with 386 hp and 398 lb-ft, and the M340i xDrive reaches 0-60 mph in 4.1 sec.
Tech-forward cockpit
Slide behind the wheel and a curved display takes centre stage on the dash. BMW refreshed the infotainment for the 2025 model year, and the 2026 model carries it over unchanged. Book a newer 3 Series and you get the latest system.
The 330i includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your maps, playlists, and podcasts land on screen without a cable. Pair your phone before you leave, and you're set for the day — a cross-town meeting, a dinner reservation, or a weekend away.
Rear- or all-wheel drive
You can find the 3 Series with rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive, and each suits a different kind of trip. Rear-wheel drive delivers balanced, engaging handling — the classic sport sedan feel that rewards a winding road. With either drivetrain, the 330i rides on a comfort-focused suspension that keeps long highway stretches relaxed.
With xDrive, you get all-wheel drive and a quicker launch. The 330i xDrive hits 0-60 mph in 5.4 sec, versus 5.6 sec for the rear-drive 330i. If you're travelling in winter, check the listing to see which drivetrain the local vehicle owner offers.
Stand out with a 3 Series
The 3 Series fits almost any trip you plan — business travel, a city weekend, or a road trip across the province. The 330i returns up to 35 mpg highway (EPA), and the 16.9 cu ft trunk takes your luggage along for every kilometre. Compare it with other luxury car rentals on Turo to find the right match for your plans.
Top 3 Series features
M340i performance
Three highlights define the 3 Series: M340i performance, efficiency for its class, and a practical five-seat cabin.
The M340i is the 3 Series for drivers who want more urgency. Its 3.0L turbo inline-six makes 386 hp and 398 lb-ft, and the M340i xDrive reaches 0-60 mph in 4.1 sec.
A sport-tuned suspension, an M Sport differential, upgraded brakes, and 19-inch wheels sharpen how it turns and stops. If a listing shows an M340i, expect a more spirited drive than the 330i — ideal when the drive itself is part of the plan. Check the trim name on the listing before you book so you know exactly which engine you're getting.
Efficient for its class
The 3 Series sits in the EPA's compact car class, and its fuel economy reflects that size. The 330i with rear-wheel drive earns EPA ratings of 28 mpg city, 35 highway, and 31 combined. The 330i xDrive follows closely at 26/34/29 mpg.
Every trim pairs its turbocharged engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system, giving you luxury-sedan refinement in a compact package. That efficiency pays off on longer trips, when the kilometres add up quickly. Before you set off, check the listing's fuel type so you fill up with the right grade on the way back.
Practical five-seat cabin
The 3 Series seats five, so it works for a team dinner, an airport run with friends, or a family weekend. Rear passengers get 35.2 in of legroom, and the 16.9 cu ft trunk handles suitcases, gear bags, and grocery runs.
BMW introduced new interior materials with the 2025 update, giving recent model years a fresher, more polished cabin to settle into. You get the comfort of a luxury sedan and the cargo space for real plans — all in a compact sedan footprint.

Amazing host and an even better experience! I rented the BMW for three weeks and everything was perfect from start to finish. The car was clean, smooth, and exactly as listed. Communication was fast and friendly, and the host made the whole process super easy. I’d definitely rent from him again—highly recommended!
Really great and reliable car! The hosts were so responsive and helpful in every step of the way. Thank you again!
Walid was on time to deliver the car and took time to meet me, introduce himself, offer help if needed. Made the process a breeze. For the delivery, he communicated proactively and we ended up adjusting the delivery slightly to benefit us both. Overall, great experience!
Ces trois jours passés au volant de cette magnifique BMW furent une expérience tout simplement mémorable. Du premier au dernier instant, ce voyage a largement dépassé mes attentes. Le véhicule était impeccable, élégant, confortable et extrêmement agréable à conduire. Chaque trajet s’est transformé en un moment de plaisir et de découverte. Mais au-delà de la qualité exceptionnelle de la voiture, ce sont surtout les souvenirs créés avec ma famille et mes amis qui resteront gravés dans ma mémoire pour de longues années. Nous avons partagé des instants de joie, de rire et de complicité qui ont rendu cette aventure véritablement inoubliable. Les routes parcourues, les conversations échangées et les moments vécus ensemble constituent désormais des souvenirs précieux que je chérirai toute ma vie. Je tiens également à souligner le professionnalisme et la gentillesse de l’hôte, dont le service irréprochable a grandement contribué à la réussite de cette expérience. La prise en charge fut simple, rapide et parfaitement organisée. En somme, ce voyage fut bien plus qu’une simple location de véhicule : il s’agissait d’une expérience humaine et familiale exceptionnelle, dont je conserverai un souvenir ému pendant de très nombreuses années. Je recommande cette voiture et son hôte sans la moindre hésitation. Une expérience cinq étoiles à tous égards. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

* 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.
