BWM F82 M4 Coupe rental from BMW Welt Munich – BMW On Demand
New BMW M4 Coupe has found it’s way to BMW Welt’s BMW On Demand rental fleet. Overnight rental from 17:00 to 09:00 or daytime rental from 09:00 to 17:00 costs 165 euros and includes 450 km. 24 hour price is 330 euros and includes 900km. Rental includes comprehensive insurance with 750 eur deductible. This is good deal for BMW M4 Coupe but this is only available from BMW Welt in Munich Germany. I would rather spent my money on this than beer tent during Octoberfest. Next month you can do both!

BMW M3 (F80) / M4 (F82) fleet Sixt Germany summer 2014
Sixt has pretty much revealed their Summer 2014 “Luxury” fleet. See separate post.
I have been looking forward to see new M3 (F80) and M4 (F82) in their summer 2014 fleet. And the good news is that Sixt will be adding both to their 2014 fleet. Bad news is that cars won’t be available until mid August beginning of September.
I’m not aware that any car rental agency in Germany (or elsewhere) has new BMW M3 / M4 in their fleet yet. There is still hope that new M3 / M4 will make to BMW On Demand – BMW Welt Munich fleet for this summer.
UPDATE (6.5.2014 13:00 CET): According BMW On Demand M3 / M4 will join to their fleet July/August (2014) timeframe.
