Drive an X3 M
The X3 M is the high-performance compact SUV from BMW's M division, pairing a twin-turbo inline-six with M xDrive all-wheel drive and seats for five. With 503 hp on tap and what Car and Driver calls "sports-car-like acceleration," it turns an ordinary errand into the best part of your day. Start with BMW car rental on Turo to find one near you.
On Turo, the car rental marketplace, you book your X3 M from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. The X3 M ran through the 2024 model year, so local vehicle owners list cars from earlier years — and features vary by trim.

Inline-six power with M precision
A 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-six powers the X3 M, making 503 hp and 479 lb-ft in Competition trim (473 hp in the base X3 M). Press the throttle and 0–60 mph arrives in a factory-claimed 3.7 seconds. That's sports car pace in an SUV you can load with friends and luggage.
All-weather grip with M xDrive
M xDrive all-wheel drive gives the X3 M sure-footed grip when the forecast turns. Stick with 4WD mode for everyday traction on wet pavement, or switch to 4WD Sport for a more engaging feel on a winding paved road. Either way, you get to choose how the SUV responds to your inputs.
Balance does the rest. With a near-even 50.1/49.9 front-to-rear weight split, the X3 M stays composed through sweeping curves, quick lane changes, and tight highway ramps. That poise lets you focus on the drive — whether you're cruising a coastal highway, heading to a weekend cabin, or crossing town for dinner.
A cockpit tuned for drivers
Slide behind the wheel and the cabin makes its priorities clear. Live Cockpit Professional with M View puts key driving info on the digital display in front of you, so your eyes stay where they belong. Vernasca leather wraps the seats, adding a rich, premium touch to every trip.
Power flows through an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic, which handles stop-and-go traffic as comfortably as an open on-ramp. You get the thrill of M performance without a clutch pedal to manage — a welcome perk in a car you're still getting to know. The result is a cockpit that feels purpose-built for people who love to drive, yet easy enough to settle into within minutes of pickup.
Stand out with an X3 M
An X3 M gives you a sports car feel with room for five people and 28.7 cu ft of cargo (62.7 cu ft folded). It fits weekend escapes, special occasions, and performance test drives before you commit to buying. Weigh it against other options for SUV rental on Turo and you'll see why this one earns a second glance at the valet stand.
Top X3 M features
Stopping power to match
Serious speed calls for serious brakes, and the X3 M answers with six-piston M Compound brakes. They give this 4,610-lb SUV stopping confidence to match its 503 hp, whether you're slowing for a highway exit or a sudden red light downtown.
That matters in a car you're still learning. Strong, predictable brakes help you settle in faster, so you can enjoy the acceleration knowing you can scrub off speed just as decisively. Give the pedal a few gentle presses early in your trip to learn its feel — a quick habit that pays off on every drive.
Everyday practicality
For all its speed, the X3 M handles real life, with five seats and 28.7 cu ft of cargo space (62.7 cu ft with the rear seats folded). That's room for suitcases, golf bags, or a big grocery run. Car and Driver even lists its "functional shape and size" among the highs.
That balance makes the X3 M an easy choice when you can't decide between fun and function. Pick up friends from the airport, pack the back for a weekend away, and still enjoy a thrilling drive home. With the X3 M, you get both — and nobody has to ride with a duffel bag on their lap.
A final-generation M icon
The F97 X3 M ran through the 2024 model year in North America, closing the book on this generation. That defined run gives it real heritage and collectibility.
Renting one on Turo lets you experience that chapter for yourself, whether you're a longtime fan or simply curious about what makes it special. Local vehicle owners list cars from across its model years, so you can find one that matches the trim and features you want. Savor a piece of M history on your next trip — it's a story you get to tell from the driver's seat.

* 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.
