A BMW XM rental puts the most powerful BMW M in your hands
Drive an XM
The BMW XM is a five-seat plug-in hybrid luxury SUV built by BMW M, pairing a twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor. It's the most powerful BMW M production model ever, and the division's first fully in-house car since 1978. If you're weighing a BMW XM car rental against other BMW rental options, this is the one built to turn heads.
On Turo, you book your XM from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. It's a natural pick for a special weekend — or an extended test drive before you buy.

Hybrid V8 power with 738 lb-ft of torque
The XM makes 738 hp and 738 lb-ft by pairing a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 (577 hp) with an electric motor (194 hp). The engine and braking keep a battery buffer charged, so you get full output even when no electric range shows. Plug in, and you'll also have up to 30 miles of electric driving.
A cabin crowned with light
The XM's cabin swaps a glass sunroof for a sculptural 3D prism headliner in M Alcantara, lit by color-changing indirect lighting. Vintage leather wraps the door trim and dashboard, adding warmth to all that drama. It's the detail your passengers will photograph first.
Up front, M multifunction seats keep you comfortable and supported, while rear M Lounge seats give passengers a lounge-style spot to settle in. A standard Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system fills the cabin — so cue up your playlist before you leave the driveway.
Planted, agile handling
The XM feels composed and sure-footed for its size, thanks to M xDrive all-wheel drive. You can choose 4WD for relaxed everyday cruising or 4WD Sport for a more engaging feel on winding roads.
Adaptive M Suspension Professional helps keep the body level through turns, so the ride stays calm for everyone on board. An M Sport Differential manages grip as you exit a corner, putting power down cleanly. The result is a 6,091-lb SUV that feels lighter on its feet than you'd expect.
Stand out with an XM
The XM turns any trip into an occasion, and its five seats mean you can bring your crew along. Book one for a milestone celebration, a weekend getaway with four friends, or an extended drive before you commit to buying. Want to compare first? Browse more luxury SUV rental options on Turo.
Top XM features
An illuminated showstopper
The XM's standout extras are its illuminated exterior, its tech-forward cockpit, and its plug-in electric range.
The XM announces itself before you reach the door. Its kidney grille glows with Iconic Glow LED contours, which you can set to light up when parked, while driving, or both. A light carpet with XM lettering greets you as you step in.
Out back, stacked twin exhaust tips from the M Sport exhaust deliver a sound that grows more intense in Sport and Sport Plus modes. Available 23-inch wheels complete the look — check the listing to see which set your XM wears. Either way, you'll make an entrance at every valet stand.
Tech at your fingertips
The XM puts its tech front and center on the BMW Curved Display, which pairs a 12.3-inch instrument display with a 14.9-inch touch display. BMW Operating System 8.5 responds to your voice, a tap, or the iDrive Controller, so you can use whichever feels natural.
BMW Digital Key Plus comes on board, and Parking Assistant Professional helps you ease into tight spots. Active Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Frontal Collision Warning add an extra set of eyes in busy traffic. It's a lot of tech, but you'll find your favorite settings within minutes.
Electric miles on demand
The XM can cover up to 30 miles on electric power alone, enough for plenty of errands and short city hops. It supports Level 2 AC charging at up to 11 kW, and the Flexible Fast Charger works with 120V or 240V outlets.
There's room for your gear, too. You get 18.6 cu ft of cargo space, expanding to up to 64.3 cu ft when you fold the rear seats. That's enough for weekend bags, a stroller, or a big grocery run — no roof box required.

Top tips and things to know before renting a XM
Get to know your XM
A little prep helps you get the most from an SUV this powerful and this large.
Start by checking the listing for the model year and details, since specs may vary by year and trim. The XM is a big SUV — 201.2 inches long and 6,091 lbs — so give yourself extra room when parking.
At pickup, review the drive modes and check the charge level so you know how many electric miles you're starting with. Planning a trip? Start your search with BMW rentals in Los Angeles, BMW rentals in Miami, or BMW rentals in Las Vegas.
XM driving tips
Three simple habits make your XM trip smoother.
Plug in overnight so you can start each day with up to 30 miles of electric driving.
Ease into the power in a quiet parking lot first, getting comfortable with the XM's 738 hp, weight, and size.
Check the distance included on the listing before a long drive, so you can plan around any mileage limit.
How much does it cost to rent an XM?
The cost to rent an XM depends on the listing, since local vehicle owners set their own daily prices. Your price varies by year, trip length, location, and any extras you add. You'll see all mandatory fees upfront before you book.
You'll get a 10% discount on non-refundable trips booked four or more days in advance. Listings can also offer duration discounts on three-day, weekly, and monthly trips.
Staying longer? Trips of 30 days or more skip the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Learn more about long-term car rental 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.
