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

My dealer always gave me a loaner, i think if you get to know the SA or the main manager then they will let you have a loaner.

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!

Park Ave BMW of NJ offers all customers a loaner car, regardless if you purchased a car from them or not.

My SA in Detroit (Bloomfield) has given me his "vehicle" when no loaners were available. By his vehicle, I mean the company car he's driving not his personal.

I just put my vehicle in at BMW of Arlington (Virginia) and got a rental...I was happy to get something more than just a ride to the nearest Metro station...

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.
