Car Rental - Specific Make/Model

[rdfcpete]

As I'm extremely unsure on a few cars further down the line to replace the GTI, I was keen to actually live with one for a few days.

Now I'm 25, the rental itself shouldn't be an issue. What I'm looking for is a BMW 325d M Sport coupe specifically with a manual box.
Fairly open to costs.

Wanted to pick everyone's brains on where on earth this might be possible, so I get a good idea what it'd be like to live with and what costs are like alongside the GTI for around a week or so?

Appreciate any sensible offers on rental/hire with such a specific model in mind.
It will without doubt be a used car I purchase (around a 2008/2009 plate) so going directly to BMW won't hold any weight.

Thanks.

Go to a BMW dealer and ask to take one for an extended test drive.  Say you need to see what its like on your commute.  Audi were certainly very accommodating with me although it was only for a day rather than days. 

Avis do some fairly exotic hire cars but to be honest I think you'd be lucky to find what you are looking for.
