MAG was doing a Mini event where you would take one for an extended period. Might still be on. Perhaps they would have a lead for you, also.

Why would you want to trade down just for them?

You can rent a Volvo Wagon from Hertz at the airport.

If MAG won't rent one, try the Toy Barn:

There ya go. They can drive BMWs at home. Let them run around in some american muscle. They would probably be into it.

Heh, that's actually a good point. Let them drive something different for a change

Seriously, no I'm not aware of anyone that rents BMW's in the city. I'm assuming they're just BMW fanatics, not employees on travel, or that would already be arranged.

A lot of Europeans don't share the same affection we do for big displacement.
Some years ago I was driving around some associates from England in my daily driver which at the time was an '87 GTI 16v. I really didn't know what I had at the time so I was shocked when they told me how much they loved my car. GT 5 liters were big at the time so I figured if they loved my car, they would flip for a GT. When I brought it up, all thre responded "why would you want one?" $6 a gallon will seriously change your perspective on "performance".
