I was directly offered this very nice upgrade. No question needed, like it was very clear for the agent that I have to receive something special (as it is holiday season).

For Germany in my experience veeeeeery uncommon. Guess I was lucky to enjoy a shortage or change in fleet mgmt..

Booked LCAR

Asked about an upgrade and was offered a "deal" for a Cadillac CTS at $20/day add on - of $200 on a $500 rental. Passed. No complimentary upgrades "available". Disappointing.

Booked: XCAR
Received - 2017 XC90, swapped to Mercedes E300.

SJC does not have any more 5 series anymore. I've only seen XTS, E300s, and 1x A6. However, when I arrived, there were no XCARs available - Was given the choice of anything on the lot. There were 2x 428i hardtop convertibles, 1x A3 convertible, several Cameros RS convertibles, 1x XC90 (took), and suburbans, minivans, and regular Chevy SUVs.

Upon inspection, the XC90 has a broken rear window wiper that would have scratched the class so that car was not available for rent and needed to be swapped.

Wanted to take a 428i, but agent decided not to give it to me as a E300 just showed up in the returns.

Asked about Platinum upgrade. Was told next category up would be SDMR and would be an Audi A3 Saloon, but would be an extra 18.15 euros per day. Tried to argue over platinum one category upgrade and was told could only choose a car within my booked class.
Have since complained to Sixt customer services and received the following reply "We would like to inform you that the Upgrade depends on the availability of the office, and the office decides whether to give the Upgrade for free or for a fee depending on how many cars they have left. Your Platinum Card entitles you to receive an Upgrade, but as stated before, it always depends on the availability. We are sorry that this time your could not receive a free upgrade."

In theory nice upgrade, but this bmw was the most basic version you can get (at least it had navigation, but maybe that's the standard anyway).

So probably decent equipped VW Passat with automatic and more power would have been nicer.

Still I liked this bmw, it felt like wearing old comfortable shoes :) Everything laid out as it should be, fast and intuitive navigation and iDrive system.

Nice car, not sure if it really belongs to the L class and motorization was - while ok - not too great... but still, nice car and for us much better than the BMW 520 which i could have had, too ;)
