Best Service Loaners You've Gotten?
I just got a 320i x-Drive fully loaded.
This is definitely a disappointing car for the price. I'd say this is about a 45,000 car? There are definitely much better choices in that price segment. The steering feels completely sloppy and then doesn't seem to be much power at all. Also, the interior seems pretty cheap as well... |

Just dropped my car off to get the damaged bumper fixed and resprayed.
The other guys insurance gets me a free rental car and I got a Kia Soul so your 320i could always be worse The guy before me got a hemi Charger so I got my hopes up! |

about two years ago when I had my W204 C300, I went in for a service and MB of Tacoma gave me a full loaded W205 C300. I'm guessing they want people to buy that kinda card after using it as a loaner. Saldy for them, I needed a bigger car hence why I got my F10 535i

I have a pretty good relationship with my dealer, as they know I have an M3 and X5M, and occasionally, my parent's f10 535i M sport.
The best I've got so far is the 2017? 2016? X5 50i Worst was a 320i |

X1 and 320i seem most common at my dealership, but the best I've had was a 428i GC. I've also seen F10 but haven't gotten one myself.

Most of my dealers loaner fleet is X1 and 320i, but did get a 550i once. Very nice.

Got an X1 loaner just now, better than I expected. Seems faster than 0-60 in 6.6 and does pretty well handling wise for a front drive SUV. They noted a scratch on the front bumper but I also noticed a small dent like a round dimple near the rear well that went unnoticed at the dealership by me and the SA due to lighting conditions, hopefully they don't blame me for that. Says it starts at 33.9, but if you add x-drive and a few other goodies I imagine it quickly climbs to $45-50K so not as much of a bargain.

My buddy got a fully loaded white on red 440i a couple months ago when he had to take his 328i in for a bent rim. I usually get a 320i but once i was lucky and got a 328i m sport.

Only if I could... It was just awesome Karma, at my current place if I were to change my car I would buy a BMW again and they know this

Wow. Am I ever jealous. I can't imagine why a dealership would have an I8 as a loaner. When I was buying my car my dealership had an I8 in the showroom that was barely used and I was tempted. But we are a one car family and it just wasn't practical.

328IX as an e90 and this was a couple of months ago. At least update the damn fleet, the steering was so far off alignment, to go straight it looked like i was turning to the left 45 degrees. Park Ave BMW in NJ. And had to pay 500 for a deposit

Back in the day, I got an E60 535i for a loaner. My dad once got a 235i convertible.
More recent loaners have been a 320i and X1.

The X1 I got had the pano moonroof and power liftgage upgrade package, but the Navi and stereo left something to be desired. Pretty good pickup for a little SAV and handling for 2 litre front wheel drive.

My dealer seems to have 75% 328's. Not a bad car. I did not like the 320, and the X1 was only a little bit better.
