Would my BMW continue to give me a loaner, after my factory Warranty expires, even though I bought an aftermarket Warranty from Mercury Insurance?

I would think it depends dealership to sealership. As the "loaner" rule is the same way with cars still under the 4 yr/50K miles....

More specifically, it depends on your relationship with your service advisor.

It helps to have a good one!

Actually it isn't BS. Most dealers have the same policy.

I agree with everyone else. That is complete BS I got a loaner the other day and I did not buy it from that dealer.
