SIXT M4 rental in Germany

mosport1 · 03-10-2015, 06:31 PM

I've booked an M4 rental through SIXT for 2 weeks in May,,,,
for my Germany/Switzerland road trip,,
however SIXT says on the form that they can't guarantee
that will be the car I get,, could be "or similar"

Just wondering if anyone has gone this route and did get
the M4 as ordered..

Did not do this but I am curious as to what their rates are! Can't imagine this is cheap?

They are pretty good with getting you what you reserved.

Can't find M3/4 for rent in Munich, but a 7-er is $184.15/day.

It just depends on the date you select it, I found one when I was looking as the location Munich Airport, but I was not looking for next month, I think I was looking for May or June and for 2 weeks it had a limit of 2.1k km.

You should get the M4 if you book in advance (like you did). I had luck when booking a M550d last time with Sixt, they delivered.

If you want more guarantee, book the M4 through BMW On Demand at Welt. They have hourly rates but it's not that much more expensive than Sixt since you only pay the first 3 hours of a day and insurance is included in price (no extra fees).

+1 Welt is the way to go to be certain.

BMW Welt rentals have great selection of BMWs, but have you looked at their prices:

At Euro 40/hour for M3, it's more of a test-drive proposition, than car rental business.

I reserved a VW Golf TDi through SIXT when I was in Munich 2 months ago and was also told that a similar model depending on availability. I ended up getting what I booked even though it was a highly demanded rental car. I think your chance of getting the M4 rental is pretty high because not too many people would rent one for what it cost.

Sounds like a fun trip you will have. Have fun and enjoy!!

mosport1 · 03-11-2015, 12:40 PM

That makes sense...I got another message stating that the car is reserved but they couldnt promise at the exact time..so see how it goes...we were going to do the EU delivery on An M235 but didnt want to be without a car for 6 weeks....so opted to rent
And the price isnt all that bad considering...
Plan is to head to the Ring first. I have a car booked with RSR for that...then make our to Switzerland and
Drive the Furkapasse...

Initially thought You only pay 3 hours Max per day. €165 per day for an m4 seems reasonable including Insurance. But actually if you want day and bought you need to pay for 6 hours!!! That's not so good! €60 for a blast in a m6 will be fun

Mosport GREAT track!

Sorry for thread deviation....

mosport1 · 03-11-2015, 08:37 PM

yes Mosport is an awesome track,, I've done a few hundred laps,,,, saw
my first F1 race there in 1973..

the option of getting a car at the Welt doesn't work as it's not on my route.
We are flying into Frankfurt..

the rental through SIXT is $1200 Euros for 2 weeks,, not bad at all.

karussell · 03-12-2015, 06:54 AM

only thing that sucks about renting an M3 and likely the M4 from Sixt is you can't disable traction control on their cars. You should call their reservation line directly and they can make sure you get the car you want. You could also call Avis De and rent a 991 for similar price.

mosport1 · 03-12-2015, 08:01 AM

Tc is the least if my worries...going to be an epic trip

Lincoln30 · 03-12-2015, 02:59 PM

SIXT won't guarantee the car. I've rented from them twice in Atlanta recently and asked for an X5 each time and got an ML350 both times.

aus · 03-12-2015, 07:13 PM

Good info. Thanks all.

mwsstandc · 03-13-2015, 01:30 AM

mosport1 · 05-25-2015, 02:02 PM

just got back,, SIXT had a nice new Mineral Grey with 2000kms waiting,,
straight to the Autobahn to Nurburgring,,, lots of traffic and didn't
get too much time to open it up,,,,as for the rest of the trip,,,
didn't get a whole lot of opprotunity to find out what it could do
but still enjoyed the car,,,,,
at the ring I did my 4 laps in the Renault,, very humbling out there
to say the least,, it's a very challenging track,,,,

second day we did the Ringtaxi in the M5,, that was awesome,,,
made it to Switzerland only to find out most of the mountain
passes were still closed,,,,,the weather was cool and rainy
for a few days but still managed to find some fun roads to
try,,,
all in all it was a great trip but next time I'll rent a 2 series
the M4 is just a tad too big for the roads and parking,,,

Not sure, but either way 435i, M4 it will be a good time on the Autobahn. What cities are you driving to and from? Around Frankfurt is usually really congested, you'll learn a new word called Stau. The A7 south of Wurzburg to Neuschwanstein castle is a nice drive, and the A9 from Nuremberg to Munich is good if you want to open it up and drive fast.

Just saw you post, sounds like you had a good time.
