We run two X3 sDrive30is and this is the one a year older, which usually shows in the daily rate and rarely in day-to-day use. Under the bonnet, the same two-litre TwinPower Turbo with 251 hp, the same eight-speed gearbox and the same G01 shape. The raised suspension and high driving position suit Warsaw's potholes and kerbs, and the boot takes a weekend's kit for four without a game of Tetris.
The car belongs to our premium and limousines class: 5 seats, an automatic gearbox and a petrol engine. Every day includes 300 km, third-party insurance with roadside assistance in Poland, servicing and seasonal tyres, and a second driver. The deposit is 3 000 PLN. We hold it on a card at handover and release it once the car has been checked on return.
We hand the BMW X3 sDrive30i over in Warsaw: at our office on Wiejska 12/3 free of charge, at Chopin Airport for 80 PLN, or at an address you give us for 120 PLN. We rent for at least 3 days, and the longer the booking, the lower the daily rate. We have been running the rental for 8 years.
Who BMW X3 sDrive30i suits in Warsaw
In Warsaw, the BMW X3 is chosen by people who want a premium car with a higher body and a bigger boot than a saloon. It is a common pick for families staying in the capital for a few weeks and for anyone heading out of town for the weekend with a pushchair, suitcases or sports gear. The high driving position also makes it easier for older passengers to get in.
On Warsaw streets the X3 copes well with kerbs, speed bumps and uneven access roads to housing estates, and from the higher seat you see more of what is happening ahead in traffic on the Łazienkowska route or Aleje Jerozolimskie. The X3 has rear-wheel drive, so in winter, on snow and slush, it is worth driving more gently and leaving a bigger gap. On a trip to the seaside or to Zakopane with a full boot, the 251 hp engine still makes the drive effortless.
Most often the X3 leaves Warsaw for a few days. A family takes it to the seaside or the Tatra mountains, and companies book it for a team trip to the Masurian lakes, where the last stretch to the venue is often a gravel road. The higher ground clearance helps on that kind of access road, and the rear bench takes two child seats.

Things worth knowing about the BMW X3 sDrive30i
The G01 generation X3 had its world premiere on 26 June 2017 in Spartanburg, USA, at BMW's largest plant in the world.
In this generation the weight is split evenly, 50 to 50, between the axles.
From its debut in 2003 to 2017, BMW sold more than 1.5 million X3s.
The G01 generation gave rise to the first ever X3 M in 2019.
These facts are about the model generation and its history, not the equipment of this particular car.
Routes from Warsaw and the mileage allowance of BMW X3 sDrive30i
The daily rate of BMW X3 sDrive30i includes 300 km, and the allowance adds up across the whole rental. For the shortest rental, 3 days, that is 900 km. Below you can see how much of it is left after coming back from popular routes. A kilometre over the allowance costs 1.20 PLN.

BMW X3 sDrive30i compared with similar cars
If you are looking for an alternative to BMW X3 sDrive30i, the table sets it against the cars in our fleet that renters in Warsaw weigh up alongside it. The figures in the table and in the lists of strengths come from the price list and the specification, and under each pair we say who each car suits better.
Two BMW X3s from two generations. Our X3 sDrive30i is a 2019 G01 with more than 250 hp and rear-wheel drive, while the X3 xDrive20i is the previous F25 generation from 2012, less powerful (184 hp) but all-wheel drive. Both have a 550 l boot. Pick the newer sDrive30i for tarmac, motorways and a modern cabin, and the older xDrive20i for a winter trip to the mountains or a plot reached by a dirt track.
Almost the same power, the same gearbox, a different body and drive. The X3 sDrive30i is an SUV with a high seat, a 550 l boot and a wide tailgate, easy to load with child seats and suitcases, but it drives the rear wheels only. The BMW 530i xDrive is longer, lower, quieter on the motorway and all-wheel drive. A family heading to the seaside will fit more comfortably in the X3; for winter trips and meetings the 530i is the surer choice.
Where BMW X3 sDrive30i wins
The figures come out about even, so choose by what you need the car for.
The engine and gearbox are almost identical and both cars are rear-wheel drive, so you are choosing a body. The X3 gives a higher seat, easier access for older passengers, a 550 l boot and a calm ride over speed bumps and tram tracks. The 330i is lower, lighter, more agile and sportier to drive, but its boot is 480 l. With children and luggage choose the X3; for driving pleasure, the 330i.

Families choose both cars, for different reasons. The Mazda 5 has seven seats, sliding rear doors on both sides that make loading children easy in a tight car park, and a manual gearbox. The BMW X3 has five seats, an automatic, a much stronger engine and more comfort on long trips, plus a 550 l boot against the Mazda's 426 l with five seats (only 112 l with all seven in use). Six or seven people means the Mazda; five with luggage and a long drive means the X3.
Two comfortable long-distance cars with an automatic and rear-wheel drive. The Mercedes E220 CDI is a classic saloon with a diesel that uses little fuel at a steady pace and a 540 l boot. The BMW X3 is fourteen years newer, more powerful, has a higher driving position and 550 l behind a big tailgate that makes a pushchair or bikes easier to load. For a round of client visits choose the Mercedes; for a family trip with lots of luggage, the X3.

A range such as 136–163 PS covers several outputs of the same engine. Figures are for the European market and come from manufacturer material and technical data catalogues.
BMW X3 sDrive30i and other versions of this model
Other versions of this model, with a stronger engine, a diesel or from a different year, are not in our fleet. Below we explain how they differ from BMW X3 sDrive30i and when our car is enough.
BMW X3 xDrive20d (G01) or BMW X3 sDrive30i?
2.0 diesel, 190 PS, 400 Nm, xDrive, 2017–2024
The X3 20d has all-wheel drive and a frugal diesel, but over 60 PS less than our sDrive30i. Our X3 is faster and quieter, although it drives the rear wheels only. For winter trips to the mountains xDrive is the better choice, and our fleet has it in the previous-generation X3 xDrive20i.
BMW X3 xDrive30d (G01) or BMW X3 sDrive30i?
3.0 I6 diesel, 265 PS (286 PS from 2021), 620 Nm (650 Nm from 2021), xDrive
The 30d is a six-cylinder diesel with a lot of torque, good for towing and fast motorway driving. Our sDrive30i has comparable power from a four-cylinder petrol, the same eight-speed automatic and 550 l boot, but rear-wheel drive only, so it is at its best on tarmac.
BMW X3 M40i (G01) or BMW X3 sDrive30i?
3.0 I6 petrol, 360 PS, 500 Nm, xDrive
The M40i was the first M Performance version in X3 history, with six cylinders and xDrive, and it is clearly quicker than our sDrive30i. If you want a mid-size premium SUV with a strong engine and an automatic for a week in Warsaw, our X3 is the closest match, with the same interior and boot.
BMW X3 xDrive30e (G01) or BMW X3 sDrive30i?
plug-in hybrid, 2.0 petrol plus electric motor, 292 PS, 420 Nm, xDrive, since 2019
The 30e was the first plug-in hybrid in X3 history. It can cover a few dozen kilometres in town on electricity, but it needs charging. Our sDrive30i has a conventional petrol engine with nothing to plug in, so it works just as well on the road without planning stops at chargers.
BMW X3 (G45, od 2024) or BMW X3 sDrive30i?
new generation, including the 20 xDrive (208 PS), 20d xDrive (197 PS), 30e xDrive (299 PS) and M50 xDrive (398 PS)
The G45 is the fourth-generation X3, unveiled in June 2024, available in Europe only with xDrive and with new model names (20 xDrive instead of xDrive20i). Our X3 is the previous G01 generation from 2019, with a stronger engine than the entry version of the new generation.

BMW X3 sDrive30i rental: frequently asked questions
Does sDrive mean all-wheel drive?
No. In BMW's naming, sDrive means drive to one axle and xDrive means all-wheel drive. This car is an sDrive, so rear-wheel drive. On winter tyres in the city that is no obstacle, but if you are heading into rough terrain or the mountains in winter, ask us about an xDrive car.
How much does it cost to rent the BMW X3 sDrive30i?
We rent for at least 3 days. A day costs 199 PLN, a week 1 367 PLN and a month 3 900 PLN. The longer the booking, the lower the daily rate. Pick your dates in the calendar on this page to see the total.
What is the deposit for the BMW X3 sDrive30i?
The deposit is 3 000 PLN. We hold it on a payment card issued in the renter's name at handover and release it once the car has been checked on return, within three working days at the latest.
Can I lower the deposit on the BMW X3 sDrive30i?
Yes. The standard deposit is 3 000 PLN, but with excess insurance at 60 PLN per day it drops to 1 500 PLN. If there is damage covered by the insurance, you then pay no excess. You tick the insurance when booking, and the charge never exceeds the amount it takes off the deposit.
What is included in the price?
Third-party insurance with roadside assistance in Poland, servicing, inspections and seasonal tyres, a second driver at no charge once named in the contract, and pick-up at our office. The car is handed over with a full tank and returned the same way.
Is BMW X3 sDrive30i suitable for the route from Warsaw to Kraków?
The route from Warsaw to Kraków is about 295 km one way and about 3 h 30 min of driving, so 590 km there and back. Renting for 3 days includes 900 km, so 310 km of the allowance is left when you get back. Each kilometre over the allowance costs 1.20 PLN.
BMW X3 sDrive30i or BMW X3 xDrive20i: which should I choose?
Two BMW X3s from two generations. Our X3 sDrive30i is a 2019 G01 with more than 250 hp and rear-wheel drive, while the X3 xDrive20i is the previous F25 generation from 2012, less powerful (184 hp) but all-wheel drive. Both have a 550 l boot. Pick the newer sDrive30i for tarmac, motorways and a modern cabin, and the older xDrive20i for a winter trip to the mountains or a plot reached by a dirt track. The comparison with the other similar cars in our fleet is further up this page.
Can I rent BMW X3 sDrive30i for longer than a month?
Yes. We rent for at least 3 days and at most 120 days. A month costs 3 900 PLN, and the longer the rental, the lower the daily rate. The mileage allowance (300 km per day) adds up across the whole rental, so a longer term gives you proportionally more.
