Pretty sure that Avis won't status match into President's Club, but I could be wrong.

I know that some people call the Chairman number and ask that an upgrade request, for a specific vehicle, be put into the rental notes. I used to do that. I even had one rep read me the current inventory of the location because I was asking what they had on the lot.
Currently, I just shoot off an email to the chairman desk with my rental confirmation number and let them know that I would prefer X car. I always put a line in there that says I know that upgrades are based on availability.
My request is usually for options on a car, not a specific car. For example, I always want to have manufacture installed GPS and working XM because when I am on the road I tend to drive 800-1,200 miles in a week.
I have a pretty good success rate of getting BMWs when I ask for them, but I think it really just depends on the location that you are renting from.
