dealer dont provide loaner
#11
i just ask and usually get one if they have one. didnt buy mine from them, but i do go to them for service from time to time, so they kinda know me. The first time I did go to the dealership for service I didnt get one, gave me the i didnt buy from them line. After that I have gotten on almost every time, even a 2009 e60 once. Just assume you get one when you go in and you should be fine.

of course! don't let the service agents smell fear, or else be prepared for the bare minimum lol
in any case, it may have been an issue of not having any loaners available. i was faced with "leave the 550 with us for a few days w/o a loaner" or "we'll do it some other time"
it was a simple decision.. then again.. it may not be an optimal decision for everyone

No loaners at the dealership in El Paso unless you buy from them. Yet even if you do they give you a enterprise rental? This is where Mercedes and Lexus outshine BMW on their service!

Can anyone from NY advise if they give loaners at any of the NY dealers. I brought my car from New Jersey and would rather not travel that far for a loaner.
