This time, to my surprise, they took out a big bundle of BMW key fobs and put me in a 2011 328i with 12k on the clock. All the paperwork was as per usual for Enterprise. I do note that the car has the dealership "brand" on the trunk lid, so it doesn't look like Enterprise bought it as part of a fleet purchase.

Anybody run into this elsewhere? Maybe Passport is just out-sourcing management of a portion of its notably large loaner fleet?
Our local dealer has some kind of arrangement with a rental company like Entreprise (I think it might even be Entreprise), where the rental company has purchased all the BMWs....... but they are all on the BMW dealership's lot. There's a lot of them and they don't seem to run out.... Not all but I think most are 328i's.
