One Shape, No Trim

Black BMW X3

The right-size BMW SUV in black, with the dark trim to match — everything on it disappears into one uninterrupted shape.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $137

Black grille surround, black window frames, black arches. In black paint, all of it vanishes.

The X3 is the BMW SUV that is the right size for almost everything: big enough for four adults and their weekend luggage, small enough for a Santa Monica parking structure and a Venice side street. It steers like a BMW — that is the part the badge never gives up — and it rides the 405 in the quiet a car this size is meant to.

01Into Palm Springs in the late afternoon: the L-shaped lamps and the silver skid plate, the only bright things on the car.

This car wears the dark trim package — black grille surround, black window frames, black arches — and in black paint all of it disappears into the body. What is left is one uninterrupted shape, which is the most expensive-looking version of a car that is otherwise about being sensible. It is the X3 a hotel valet parks at the front.

Five X3s are in the fleet — black, grey, blue, white and silver — and the dates on each page are the car's own. Whichever you pick, the car underneath is the same: five seats, a boot that takes four cases, and a chassis that makes the canyon road home the best part of the day.

The right size for almost everything.
Including the parking structure.

Queries

How much does it cost to rent a black BMW X3 in Los Angeles?
The black X3 is $137 a day. The day rate is the whole of it on this car — there is no weekly or monthly block, so a longer booking is priced day by day. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary; LAX delivery is charged each way, in two tiers, and the figures are on our delivery page.
X3 or X5?
The X3 is the right size for most weeks in Los Angeles — four people, the beach, a hotel garage. The X5 is the one for four adults with a week of luggage and a run to Palm Springs. Both steer the way a BMW should; the X3 is the easier car to park by a clear margin.
How do the five X3s differ?
Paint and trim. Black and white wear the dark trim, grey and silver the chrome, blue is the one BMW keeps for its own cars — and the silver one is the earlier face. Each colour is on its own page with its own dates; pick by colour and by the diary.
Is it a good car for a family?
It is the car we send most families to. Two child seats fit across the back with room for an adult between them, the boot takes a double stroller with the shopping beside it, and it is short enough that a beach car park is not a negotiation.
Can I see the dates before I call?
Yes — the diary on this page is the live fleet calendar. If a date is open there, it is open.

The terms, before you commit

Refundable deposit
$500
A hold, not a charge. Back with you 5–7 business days after the car is home.
Damage and liability cover
$75 a day
Mandatory, and priced off the deposit rather than the rate. Your own qualifying full-coverage policy takes this line out of the quote entirely.
Driver, 21–24
$50 a day
Twenty-one is the floor, with a licence held two years. The higher band applies above a $1,500 deposit; this car is below it.
Shortest booking
24 hours
No maximum. Delivery is complimentary at our Robertson Boulevard lot and our four Beverly Hills partner hotels; LAX is $75 to the parking structure or $150 to the terminal, each way.

This one is the same rate at every length — it carries no multi-day block, so three days is three times one day. We would rather say that than imply a discount that is not there.
