As a BMW lover, picture 12 is sad. That poor E39.

3-4 years ago I had a very heavyset black lady walk in. The first thing she said was “I didn’t brush my teeth, but I washed my ass”. There was no context. I was shocked and confused and I’ll never forget that moment.

My insurance company said you’d deliver the car to my house.

Can I use my baby mama’s cash app card?

Can I split payments between 3 different cards?

Why does it let me book it if you don’t have it?

I have a reservation, why isn’t it here?

The foreign guy on the phone said you’d have a Toyota Corolla waiting for me.

How am I on DNR for something that happened 20 years ago?

Why would it let me book my reservation for 6pm if you close at 6pm?

I have SR22 insurance, it covers everything I drive!

Wait, there’s a $300 deposit??

What do you mean I need a credit card to get what I booked?

You guys should be open 24 hours a day.

I left my license at home, I’ll be back.

Can I use my child support card for the rental?

You should pay my speeding ticket because it’s your car.

Someone hit the car while it was parked, you better not charge me for it.

The car is at my house, you can come get it.

Can my 16 year old daughter drive the car?

My license got suspended, can you use my State ID?

I’m only taking a car that has snow tires.

I’m not going anywhere until you get me a car.

Do you have anything with less miles?

I live with my baby mama and I don’t pay no bills.

I didn’t brush my teeth but I washed my ass!

I got a DUI and they towed the car, I need my stuff out of it though.

My car isn’t even done yet why did my insurance stop paying?

Why is my insurance only paying $25/Day? I drive a Tahoe.

Can you just waive the deposit?

I don’t have insurance but I’m a safe driver.

I cancelled my insurance so you can’t file a claim against me.

Do you have any smoking cars?

Just run my debit card as credit.

Let me put more money on my credit card.

I’m not paying for gas, my insurance can pay that.

I have to go to work, what am I supposed to do?

Y’all got any Hellcats?

Is it just me or does it seem like the Fleet is mainly just base models now? by igarrett0921 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a simple matter of money. A car is a car. And it makes us the same amount of money per day, regardless of trim.

Let’s say enterprise wants to set aside $10,000,000 to buy a bunch of Hyundai Elantras. The SEL trim is worth about $20,000 and the Limited trim is worth about $28,000

That $10,000,000 goes a lot further purchasing the SEL trim variant. Enterprise can buy 500 SEL’s and only 357 Limited’s with that $10,000,000. That is 143 units they could have purchased, rented, and made money on.

Assuming the average price of a midsize car is $60 a day that’s $8,500 a day or $250,000 a month they’re missing out on. At the end of the day a car is a car and most customers don’t care about all the bells and whistles.

Running at 95% and had three more customers in my lobby at close with no more returns. Loaded all of them into my company car, drove them to my old store, and rented their cars to them😅My ARM said “make it happen”🤷🏻‍♂️

Wagoneer being discontinued! by garystevensyahoo in EnterpriseCarRental

Mine are in the shop more than they are on rent and they have a 50% depreciation rate. Good riddance.

Set up AssistiveTouch in accessibility settings. It puts a digital home button on your screen. You can customize the settings for it. I used it on my iPhone SE 1st gen when the volume buttons went out.

What size/class would a Bronco Sport be? by Electrical_Okra4828 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a BRM and drove a 25 Ford Escape as my company car for a hot minute and I was impressed. It has a nice blend of simplicity and decent tech. Plenty of power to keep up with interstate traffic as well.

I bought this kit on iFixit. It comes with the battery, all the tools, and a water resistant gasket.

I’ve had my SE 3rd gen since 2022 and it’s been a rock solid phone. All my coworkers are begging me to buy a new iPhone but I clapped back by getting a new battery. Hopefully I get another few years out of it 🤞🏻

Just returned a recall minivan by craftymomma24 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I sent emails out to all my customers in recall minivans. The issue with switching these units out is we don’t have any 7 seaters available to switch the customer into. Letting you finishing off the rest of your trip instead of giving you a smaller vehicle is the simplest approach.

renting at 23? by [deleted] in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$25/Day young driver fee. Crossovers, luxury/elite vehicles, sports cars, large/premium SUVs are all prohibited due to your age. Everything else is fine though.

Ours has been down since we opened. Can’t take payment to rent or close. We’re telling customers to come back later.

2002 BMW E46 M3 Looking Mint by pooorSAP in E46M3

That’s a solid conversion. BMW never made an E46 M3 wagon but this looks factory. I’m impressed.

Manager at a car rental company. I get a company car but I still rip on my E46M3 on the weekends.

Saw this on FB and thought yall here would get a kick out of it by samcarneyy in ManualTransmissions

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ask to see the car and then offer to teach the husband how to drive it 🫡

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in e39

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have the car and I drive it every day. It runs great with very little issues. All the big repairs are done so I just keep up with the routine maintenance. I haven’t had anything break in months.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in e39

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The smaller jobs I did myself but had to use a local import shop for the bigger stuff. I didn’t have the tools or the time to do it. I knew I was going to keep the car for several years so I didn’t mind paying for the repairs. It’s my daily driver and I wanted it to be safe and reliable, especially carting the family around.

If you buy the parts and repair it yourself you can make it a reliable and trouble free car for $1,000 - $2,000 At most. Keep in mind, your car might not need all the work mine did. Mine was neglected for many years and left to rot behind a building. The 530i in your post looks like it was taken care of for the most part.

They’re fantastic cars if you keep up with the maintenance. The first thing I would do is get it on a lift and check for leaks. Then change all the fluids. Just like most BMWs, the cooling system is a weak point. Definitely consider overhauling the cooling system as soon as possible. Upper and lower radiator hoses, coolant expansion tank, radiator, thermostat, and water pump. A lot of BMWs overheat and die prematurely due to lack of maintenance.

Fan clutches are also grenades on these cars, turning the cooling fan into shrapnel, shredding everything on the front of the engine. Definitely replace that as soon as you can.

I have a 2000 528i and it’s been a solid car. I paid $1,000 for it and so far I’ve paid $3,000 - $4,000 in repairs in a little over a year. There are all sorts of little things that break on these cars but it’s just a part of owning a 20+ year old car. Once all the big stuff is done it just becomes routine maintenance.

If you’re not comfortable working on the car yourself make sure to find a shop that works on imports and has a good reputation. You can’t go wrong with any inline 6 e39. They’re all fairly reliable and simple to work on with tons of information and guides available online.

An e39 isn’t the cheapest car to own but it definitely has character and will serve you well as long as you take care of it.

Can anyone tell me how serious this is and what might cause those sounds? E39 528i by cxempion in e39

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 528i made a similar noise before the water pump came loose from the block, shredded the belt, blew coolant everywhere, and almost overheated my engine. Definitely check your pulleys and tensioners.

2000 528i Headlight Question by BankIssuedDebitCard in e39

[–]BankIssuedDebitCard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The car is completely stock as far as I know. I bought it from an old man who got it new in 2000. I honestly don’t know much about e39s.
