The 328i is an LCAR? I am assuming that you mean XCAR (528i).
BMW 3 series don't come with nav standard unlike the 5 series.

I reserved a PCAR. My status is Platinum, so I got upgraded. The 3 was the only thing available.

Just made my first reservation - ATL Airport

Well my rental has concluded. All on all it went well. I am still in shock at how small the inventory at Sixt is.

My LCAR rental is in the beginning of March. What cars/trucks are available in the luxury and Extraordinary class?

FYI they held 899 dollars for a LCAR. I wonder how much for the corvette?

my second rental

I will be returning my second rental from Sixt. For my LCAR rental I received a 528i (1499 hold on CC). The car had 10k+ miles. It was nice and had the HUD, backup camera and sensors. Oddly when parking forward the sensors would never alert when I was closing in on an object. Yet, when I went to reverse out of the parking space the front alarms would than work. This 528i did not have a cold weather package or convenience package ( i.e. open doors without pressing a button on the key fob ). Just makes me wonder why American cars almost come with remote start and "true" keyless entry almost stardard ( it seems ).

So from Sixt I have received a 3 series and now a 5 series. Customer service is great from everyone at Sixt. I just wish it would be more "express". Like go directly to the car. You have to make two counter stops before getting your vehicle.

Seeing how the 5 series is the top of the line Sixt offers ( you have to be a VP with Sixt (inside the corporation) in order to get an Audi A8, as I witnessed on my first rental ). I would like to get a 7 series since i'm in the market for a new car. I guess I have to go to Enterprise Exotics. Can anyone else make a suggestion?

Had a good experience at the ATL Sixt. Reserved ECAR, got a very well equipped Cadillac Srx with sat-nav, rear facing camera, parking sensors and stuff, LFAR, I believe? They really didn't have much better than it when I arrived, or I'm sure I would have been upgraded further.

Nice upgrade, are you Platinum or Diamond status?

Picked up in Midtown Atlanta but they seem to share fleet btwn airport (where I am returning) and Midtown.

Have PCAR reserved, given choice of LCAR (Audi A4 or BMW 328i). Took the BMW, 12k miles on it, drives great, handles so well, very happy with it.

It sounds like there is no express check-in. Everybody needs to go to the main rental car center counter first. Is that correct?

I wasn't assigned a car through the mobile application, so I figured I had to stop by the main counter. They were having some computer issues when I arrived, so it took quite some time. Apart from that, service was very good.
