X5 or 740i?

This sounds riddiculous but which would be a wiser rental: a BMW X5 or 740i? I know they are quite different vehicles but I drive an SUV regularly and I kinda like the thought of getting a sedan for a couple weeks. However will the 740 be a pig on gas in comparison? Also will I feel like an old man driving it? I'm 32. It's a rental from FLL at the end of March so I just might fit in with all the old foggeys from Boca

where are you seeing these advertised for budget?

to answer your question the 740 will be way better on gas then the X5 and a nicer car overall, the only way the X5 might be comparable or better is if it is the diesel variety but I doubt any US agency renting that one. i am 26, frequent this area a lot and would take the 7 anyday!

Thanks for insight. And it's from the Fort Lauderdale airport.

no problem glad I could help, and my user name is coincidental I have lots of other cars also so dont think I am just telling you that because I have a 7 myself lol

I just saw it listed on Budgets fleet list, I would be interested to know what options they have on them.
