I rented once from the airport and once from the 24h Frankfurt Ost location. The Frankfurt Ost location wasn't inconvenient and saved me about US$200 on a one-week LDAR rental. Unfortunately, their selection is a bit smaller than FRA's and they might only have one vehicle in a reserved class. That being said, they did have cars like the M550d, M4, F-Type, and SLC available. Perhaps you should look into booking an LSMR vehicle as you'd probably get a BMW 430d. If you're willing to pay the airport premium, you should just go ahead and make several cancellable reservations with several agencies so that you can choose your car. Another option at the airport is renting from Europcar Selection as they apparently have several interesting guaranteed models such as a GTI or an S5.
