This is the only X3 in our fleet with xDrive all-wheel drive, and the cheapest way to rent a genuinely all-wheel-drive SUV from us. The F25 generation is older than our other X3s, and that is precisely what the price difference reflects. It goes out to customers heading into the mountains in winter, to a summer house down an unmade road, or to a building site where the approach is churned up and one driven axle ends in pushing.
The car belongs to our comfort 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 xDrive20i 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 xDrive20i suits in Warsaw
In Warsaw, the X3 xDrive20i is chosen by people who live or work where the tarmac ends. New estates in Białołęka or Wawer often still have temporary gravel access roads, and plots near Serock and Nieporęt turn soft after rain. All-wheel drive means the car pulls away in places like that without spinning its wheels.
In the city itself it is a comfortable mid-size SUV, with a high driving position and a good view in traffic on Modlińska or the Toruńska route. The 184 hp engine is enough for relaxed driving with a full car and luggage, and the automatic gearbox takes the strain out of rush hour. When parking in the centre it helps that the X3 is shorter than the large saloons in our fleet.
In winter it is a good choice for a trip to the mountains. Warsaw to Zakopane is more than 400 km, so on a week-long rental the mileage allowance covers the drive there and back and daily trips to the ski lifts. With the rear seat backrest folded there is room for skis or longer gear for the plot.

Things worth knowing about the BMW X3 xDrive20i
The F25 generation was the first X3 built in the USA. BMW invested USD 750 million in its Spartanburg plant, while the previous generation was assembled by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
The F25 made its debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The original 2003 X3 was the first BMW with all-wheel drive branded xDrive.
The N20 engine of the xDrive20i made Ward's 10 Best Engines list in 2012.
The first-generation X3 found more than 600,000 buyers.
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 xDrive20i
The daily rate of BMW X3 xDrive20i 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 xDrive20i compared with similar cars
If you are looking for an alternative to BMW X3 xDrive20i, 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.
The same BMW X3, but a different generation and drive. Our xDrive20i (F25, 2012) has 184 hp and all-wheel drive, so it pulls away more surely on snow, mud and gravel. The sDrive30i (G01, 2019) is newer, clearly more powerful, has a more modern cabin and drives the rear wheels only. Both have a 550 l boot. For winter, the mountains and dirt tracks choose the xDrive20i; for tarmac and a fast motorway run, the sDrive30i.
Both have xDrive, so they grip well in rain and snow. The X3 xDrive20i is an SUV with more ground clearance and a 550 l boot, better for the track to a plot near Serock or a house on a new estate without tarmac. The BMW 530i xDrive is a newer, more powerful and quieter premium saloon, better for the motorway and meetings. Choose the X3 when the tarmac ends, the 530i when comfort on a long drive matters.
Where BMW X3 xDrive20i wins
The figures come out about even, so choose by what you need the car for.
Both are large automatics for longer trips, but the X3 has all-wheel drive and a taller body, while the Mercedes E220 CDI is a low, rear-wheel-drive saloon. The Mercedes has a diesel that uses less fuel on the road than the petrol X3 and a 540 l boot; the BMW has 550 l under a big tailgate. For a winter trip to the mountains and unsurfaced roads choose the X3; for a long, steady expressway run, the Mercedes.
The Opel Insignia is a big, comfortable touring car with a 1.8 petrol engine, a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. The BMW X3 xDrive20i has an automatic, all-wheel drive, a stronger engine, a higher driving position and a 550 l boot. The Insignia is enough for tarmac trips around Poland with a full car; choose the X3 for winter, the mountains and off-tarmac access, or when you do not want to change gear in traffic.
The Mazda 5 carries seven, has sliding doors on both sides and compact-car dimensions, but a manual gearbox and a 115 hp engine that needs revs with a full load. The BMW X3 xDrive20i has five seats, an automatic, all-wheel drive and a 550 l boot, so with five on board it takes more luggage than the Mazda (426 l). For six or seven people choose the Mazda; for five with luggage and winter roads, the X3.

Figures separated by a slash are the power or torque of successive variants of the same version (for example before and after the facelift) or of the versions named in the row. 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 xDrive20i 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 xDrive20i and when our car is enough.
The 20d is the diesel version with the same power as our 20i. It uses less fuel on the road and has more torque, while our petrol 20i is quieter and smoother in town. Both have xDrive and a 550 l boot, so for a winter trip to the mountains they do the same job.
BMW X3 xDrive30d (F25) or BMW X3 xDrive20i?
3.0 I6 diesel, 258 PS, 560 Nm, xDrive, automatic
The 30d is a six-cylinder diesel with plenty of power in reserve, good for towing and fast motorway driving. Our xDrive20i has 184 PS, so it is calmer, but it has the same xDrive, body and boot. For a trip to the mountains or a gravel track to a country plot it is all you need.
The 35i is the most powerful petrol X3 of this generation, with a turbocharged six-cylinder. Our 20i has four cylinders and 184 PS, so it is clearly slower but less demanding to run. If you want an all-wheel-drive X3 for winter and poorer roads, our xDrive20i does the job.
BMW X3 xDrive28i (F25) or BMW X3 xDrive20i?
until 2012 a naturally aspirated 3.0 I6 with 258 PS, then a 2.0 turbo with 245 PS, xDrive
The 28i is an interesting case, because the same name covered two engines. Until 2012 it was a naturally aspirated 3.0 six-cylinder, then a two-litre turbo from the same family as our 20i, just more powerful. Our xDrive20i has that four-cylinder engine in its 184 PS form and the same drive system.
BMW X3 pierwszej generacji (E83, 2003–2010) or BMW X3 xDrive20i?
first-generation X3, about 150–286 PS, built in Graz
The first X3 was built for BMW by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, and xDrive made its debut with it and the facelifted X5. Our xDrive20i is the second generation, the first one built in the USA, more modern and roomier inside. Its successor, the X3 G01, is also in our fleet as the X3 sDrive30i.

BMW X3 xDrive20i rental: frequently asked questions
When is all-wheel drive worth paying for?
When the route involves winter climbs, unmade access roads, a churned-up building site or a mountain trip out of season. For driving around Warsaw on winter tyres, one driven axle is entirely enough and another car from the fleet will cost you less. Tell us the planned route and we will advise.
How much does it cost to rent the BMW X3 xDrive20i?
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 xDrive20i?
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 xDrive20i?
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 xDrive20i 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 xDrive20i or BMW X3 sDrive30i: which should I choose?
The same BMW X3, but a different generation and drive. Our xDrive20i (F25, 2012) has 184 hp and all-wheel drive, so it pulls away more surely on snow, mud and gravel. The sDrive30i (G01, 2019) is newer, clearly more powerful, has a more modern cabin and drives the rear wheels only. Both have a 550 l boot. For winter, the mountains and dirt tracks choose the xDrive20i; for tarmac and a fast motorway run, the sDrive30i. The comparison with the other similar cars in our fleet is further up this page.
Can I rent BMW X3 xDrive20i 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.
