Well, this week I needed a car at LAX and a 4 series coupe was cheaper than Hertz or National so I gave it a shot. The fleet looked super new with lots of high end cars and the rep that checked me in *insisted* that she had to find me a nice upgrade because I'm Platinum. Almost got an M4 but they weren't "cleared to rent" yet (brand new), so she gave me an 8 series gran coupe. Not bad at all. Hope this isn't a one-off!
