Since it’s a long-term rental, we’re not dealing with Sixt, or Hertz or whatever.

This is an old dealer car, and it was something like 30% cheaper to rent via the dealer than the competitors. I think it was mostly a test-drive unit, so even if it is only a 420d, it has nice interiors.

What’s your favourite thing about the car?

What’s your least favourite thing about the car?

Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?

1.
I can drive it, and both of my parents can too for no extra cost
2.
Probably trunk space
3.
One horse sized duck... very fragile legs.

The interio r better be nice, they’re so slow you’re going to be in there a while.

How does that work, I’ve often thought of renting  a nice BMW sedan for one of my trips out east. Will most dealers agree to rent loaners or demonstrators?

Thats... that’s a loaded question that I’m not particularly well equipped to answer. I think this particular dealer rents out cars because of the area they serve and not because it’s a typical practice at any sort of BMW dealer. I can only encourage you to call a dealer near your destination and find out if it can be done. I think we got the cheap price because we’re renting this bad-boy for a month. Plus, they only do small engine, diesel cars... No way of renting an M3, or even a 540i.

True, but for the cost of a 4 Series GC I want a little more than 180 hp.

I would save a little more and get a 330d if I really wanted a diesel BMW.

I would imagine there are 100+ small diesel engined BMW 3-series for every M3 or even 5 40i, so that they don’t offer the hard to sell/quick depreciating big engined cars as rentals does make sense.
