Well, I have to vent on this one... my last appointment for my "Restraint Systems Fault" problem... I called ahead, scheduled an appointment... and told them I would need a loaner. When I arrived for my appointment, they said... "um... we dont' have any loaners... I'm going to call Enterprise" I almost hit the roof!!! Now granted I don't have a 545 all tricked out, but damn!!! After blowing off some steam... I was somewhat glad to see the 2005 Chevy Tahoe they had for me to drive. However, after 4 days of driving it, I thought I was going to be crazy!!! If the 15 MPG I was getting wasn't bad enough, feeling EVERY bump in the road surely was.
Oh well, maybe better luck next time... :'(

When I took delivery the dealership waited to the last moment to install my spoiler. When they saw how long it would take the adhesive to cure they offered me a 330i to drive for the day. I wanted my car so I scheduled a date while I was in Sweden and let them do some changes on the car.

The dealership I go to will not give me a loaner since I bought my car from a different company. They clearly tell people that the loaners are only for people who buy their cars from them.
They also aren't particularly nice to people who get them elsewhere, even to the point of making a big deal about the issue from time to time. Not too cool. I think I may change dealers because of this.

Iceman,
how is the ride on the 6 you got as a loaner?

Really a beautiful car!!
I would have taken it instead of the 545, but I need the comfort seats because of my severe back problems.
The sound is terrific!!!

Here is my wife checking out the 645ci. And even she is not a big fan of sports cars, she liked the 6 and enjoyed driving it!
