Drive a M Series
M Series cars are the performance peak of any BMW rental search — each one tuned by the brand's motorsport division. The M2, M3, and M4 share a 473 hp inline-six, so even base models bring serious pace.
On Turo, you book the exact M model you want from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup that fits your plans. Pick a six-speed manual M3, a four-seat M4 convertible, or anything in between.

Twin-turbo inline-six power
The M3 and M4 run on the S58 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six. In base form, it makes 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Step up to a Competition xDrive trim and output climbs to 523 hp.
Your choice of transmission
You can shift for yourself or let the car do it — the M lineup still offers both. Base M3 and M4 models pair a six-speed manual with rear-wheel drive, the classic setup for drivers who want every gear change in their hands. The M2 also comes standard with a six-speed manual, with an eight-speed automatic available.
Competition trims use an eight-speed automatic, so you can focus on steering and braking while the car handles the shifts. Choose Competition xDrive and you add all-wheel drive, which sends power to all four wheels. Since each trim drives differently, check the listing before you book so you know exactly which setup you're getting.
Room for real life
The M3 seats five and gives you 16.9 cu ft of cargo space, so it works for daily errands as well as weekend drives. That's enough room for luggage on an airport run or gear for a weekend away — with a 473 hp inline-six under the hood.
Fuel economy lands at 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined in the M3. Prefer two doors? The M4 comes as a coupe or a convertible and seats four, trading a little rear-seat space for a sleeker profile. Either way, you get M performance in a body that fits how you actually travel.
Stand out with a M Series
An M Series rental suits driving enthusiasts, special occasions, and anyone test-driving before buying. Book one for a milestone birthday, a scenic weekend loop, or a few days of real-world seat time before you commit at the dealership. Want to compare it with other head-turners?

Top M Series features
Racing heritage
Three things set M cars apart — racing heritage, a model for every driver, and a plug-in hybrid flagship.
Every M car traces back to the track. BMW founded its Motorsport division in the 1970s to support its racing efforts, and that mission still shapes how M cars look, sound, and drive. The first M road car, the M1, arrived in 1978.
The real legend came in 1986 with the E30 M3. BMW built it as a racing homologation special — a street car made so the brand could go racing with it. Today it's widely considered the most iconic M car ever. Drive a modern M3 or M4 and you're driving a descendant of that race-bred original.
A size for every drive
The M lineup comes in several shapes, so you can match the car to your trip. The M2 is the most compact and attainable M car, with rear-wheel drive and a shorter wheelbase than the M3 and M4. That tighter footprint makes it the pick if you want a nimble, driver-focused coupe.
The M3 is the sedan of the group, with four doors and seating for five. Turo's own luxury sedan roundup calls it "the perennial leader of performance sedans." The M4 covers the coupe and convertible side, seating four. Whether you're planning a solo canyon run or a weekend with friends, there's an M body style that fits.
Plug-in hybrid flagship
The M5 is the M lineup's flagship, and it's a plug-in hybrid. It pairs a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 with plug-in hybrid power. The result? A total of 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque.
You can choose between two body styles. The M5 Sedan keeps things classic with four doors, while the M5 Touring adds wagon-style cargo space for bags and gear. The Turo blog even named the 2025 BMW M5 its January car of the month. If you want the most powerful way to experience M performance, this is the one to book.

Top tips and things to know before renting a M Series
Get to know your M Series
Know your trim, your fuel, and your budget before you book. Here's what to check before and during your M Series trip.
Confirm the exact M model and trim in the listing before you book. Check whether it has a manual or automatic transmission, and whether it's rear-wheel drive or xDrive all-wheel drive. Those details change how the car feels behind the wheel.
M performance extends to SUVs, too. If you need more space, look at the BMW X5 M or the BMW X3 M. Prefer a softer ride with familiar styling? The BMW 4 Series is worth a look.
M Series driving tips
Fill up with premium unleaded fuel whenever you stop at a gas station. M cars have a firm ride and very high limits. Give yourself time to learn the steering, brakes, and throttle before driving more spiritedly.
If you book a manual trim, make sure you're confident with a clutch before pickup. Ease into the first few miles while you learn how the car responds.
How much does it cost to rent a M Series?
The price of an M Series rental depends on the model, trim, location, and dates you choose. Set your trip dates on Turo to see current prices for listings near you.
Planning a longer stay? Longer trips can unlock discounts, so check out long-term car rental options if you need an M car for weeks or months.

* 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.
