Drive an M3
The M3 packs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six and up to 523 hp into a four-door sedan with five seats. Of all the BMW car rental options on Turo, it's the one that turns a back road into an event and still carries the whole crew to dinner.
On Turo, you book your M3 from a local vehicle owner and choose the exact car, year, and trim you want. Depending on the listing, you can pick it up or have it delivered to a spot that fits your plans.

Up to 523 hp from a twin-turbo inline six
Every M3 runs a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six, and the output climbs with each trim. The base M3 makes 473 hp, the Competition makes 503 hp with 479 lb-ft of torque, and the Competition xDrive makes 523 hp. Those three trims hit 0-60 mph in 4.1, 3.8, and 3.4 seconds.
Manual or automatic, your call
Your M3 comes with one of two transmissions, and the choice shapes the whole drive. The base M3 uses a six-speed manual, while the Competition and Competition xDrive use an eight-speed M Steptronic Sport Transmission with Drivelogic.
The manual hands you every shift — clutch, rev match, and all — for a classic, hands-on feel. The automatic handles the shifting through city traffic and long highway stretches, and it powers the two quickest trims to 0-60 mph in 3.8 or 3.4 seconds. Check the listing to see which one your M3 has, then book the car that matches how you like to drive.
Four doors, five seats, and a real trunk
The M3 delivers its performance in a package you can live with all weekend. It's a four-door sedan with five seats, so your friends get their own doors to the back seat.
The trunk offers 16.9 cubic feet of cargo space, enough for a weekend's worth of bags. At 189.1 inches long, the M3 stays manageable on city streets and in parking garages. That mix of space and speed means one car can cover the airport run, the dinner reservation, and the scenic detour on the way home.
Stand out with an M3
An M3 gives you supercar-quick acceleration in a sedan you can share with friends. Book one for a weekend escape, a special night out, or a test drive of the dream car you're thinking about buying. When you want to compare options, browse more exotic and luxury car rentals on Turo.
Top M3 features
xDrive all-wheel drive
The M3's standout features are xDrive all-wheel drive, a cockpit full of M details, and a design that wears its racing roots proudly.
The Competition xDrive sends power to all four wheels, and that grip makes it the quickest M3 you can book. It hits 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds — the fastest time in the lineup — because all-wheel drive helps put its 523 hp to the pavement.
That extra traction pays off beyond hard launches, too. Rainy mornings, cool evenings, and winding roads feel more composed when four wheels share the work. If confidence in changing conditions matters for your trip, look for a Competition xDrive listing and confirm the trim before you book.
M cockpit details
Inside, the M3 surrounds you with details that remind you what you're driving. Depending on the car, you might sink into available M Carbon Bucket Seats that hold you in place through every corner. The available M Alcantara steering wheel adds tri-color stitching and a red 12 o'clock stripe, so you always know where center is.
Stainless steel M pedals sit underfoot, and available carbon fiber trim finishes the cabin with a race-ready edge. Equipment varies from car to car, so check the listing photos and description if a specific detail matters to you. That way, the cabin you picture is the cabin you get.
Tri-color M badging and sedan proportions
The M3 wears tri-color M badging, a nod to the racing heritage behind every M car. Those three stripes tell anyone who knows cars that this sedan means business.
The rest of the design backs up the badge. A large vertical kidney grille, slim laser-style LED headlights, a sculpted hood with a power dome, and quad exhaust tips give the M3 real presence. At 189.1 inches long, 74.3 inches wide, and just 56.6 inches tall, it sits low and planted, even parked at the curb.

Top tips and things to know before renting a M3
Get to know your M3
Before you book an M3, check the trim, transmission, and drivetrain, plan for premium fuel, and compare trip-length discounts. These quick checks help you land the right car for your trip.
Each M3 trim drives differently, so read the listing before you book. The base M3 pairs rear-wheel drive with a six-speed manual. The Competition keeps rear-wheel drive and adds an eight-speed automatic, while the Competition xDrive adds all-wheel drive.
Listing details show the year, trim, and transmission, so you know exactly what you're getting. To see which M3s are available near your trip, browse BMW rentals in Los Angeles, BMW rentals in Miami, or BMW rentals in Las Vegas.
M3 driving tips
The M3 runs on premium unleaded and rewards a smooth right foot, so plan ahead and ease in. A few habits make the drive more enjoyable:
Plan your fuel stops, since the Competition xDrive averages 18 mpg combined.
Fill up with premium unleaded every time.
Ease into the throttle until you've felt how quickly up to 523 hp arrives.
Confirm which transmission your listing has before pickup.
How much does it cost to rent an M3?
The cost to rent an M3 on Turo depends on the car's year and trim, your trip length, any extras, and delivery. Book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead, and you'll get a 10% discount.
Many listings also offer three-day, weekly, and monthly discounts, so a longer trip can lower your average cost. For stays of a month or more, explore long-term car rental options on Turo.

* 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.
