Hi all!

I`d like to report about my last Mystery Car booking from Sixt. I`ve got the BMW 530i xDrive sedan. Btw the xDrive is the intelligent all-wheel drive from BMW which I could never really use. The 2.0 liter TwinPower Turbo 4 cylinder with 248 HP are absolutely sufficient. I tried to test the 5.9 sec for 0-60 MPH. It was very impressive. Overall a great car, very comfortable with sufficient power.

Welcome in the forum @powerdome2! Great rental. How many days did you drive the BMW?

Thx for the welcom @Bentley. My rental duration was 3 days. I was driving 546 miles. I was very impressed about the comfort of this car and the high quality of the interior materials.

Was the car from Sixt new and cleaned @powerdome2 ?

The BMW was almost brand new. It had driven 245 miles only. Of course it had been absolutely clean.

This is also my experience with Sixt. Cars are always rather new. When you book at competitors you always need some luck when you want to get a new car.

I can report about my last rental from Sixt SFO Airport. For a Mystery Car booking I`ve got a BMW X1 SUV out of the PFAR category. It was for the first time that I`ve driven such a BMW X1. I was very surpised about the comfort of this small SUV.

Never driven the X1. Will try to rent one soon.

It`s worthwhile to rent a X1. But I would prefer the X5. The X5 has much more space, more comfort and much better equipment. My opinion only.

For the X5 I suggest to book the Premium Mystery Car category. The chance will be higher than based on a mystery Car booking only.
