They only had M3, M4, M5, i8 available for rent. I regret paying that much for a watered down M2C, I would have rather driven a normal 340i or something if it was cheaper and available. |

I only drove my car from BMW Welt directly to LogInOut, the road was wet but no snow or ice. For my driving around Germany/Austria I didn't chance it and rented a car from BMW with snow tires. I could have gotten away with driving my own car since it stayed dry the whole time but I didn't want to get stranded during my trip. I also couldn't sleep till about 4 AM German time in the 5 days I was there so I slept about 4 hours a night but luckily I had no jet lag when I got home since I was always on Central time. I would double/triple check that the BMW Premium Drive people are picking you up a day or two before you arrive. I received my confirmation back in Oct/Nov and then no one showed up to pick me up at the airport. I had to take a taxi and still working with BMW to get reimbursed, it sucked. |

Boston/Munich weather mirror each other, would I drive my car if it was here? NO, off ramps here are glazed with ice every night before salt looks like car rental it is, I'm not taking chances with my son in the car, we will just eat out all day buy gummie bears and look @ tall blonde Austrian women (father/son) bonding time! Gummie bears and blondes with a bmw pickup, not a bad few days with my boy. Btw, my son picked out the car spec, mean Black Sapphire or clean Alpine White with the black wheel contrast was his picks, white with 6MT confirmed |
