I dropped my car off two days ago for repairs. They gave me a PT Cruiser as a loaner. While I was happy to have any loaner, this car was a significant step down in comfort and performance from the 550 - I have a whole new appreciation for my 20 way seats!
Well, today I went to pick up my car and the dealer had failed to complete the work properly. I was a bit upset as I would have to leave the car for yet another day. They gave me a new loaner but this time it was a Z4. Now that is a car!
It was raining so I couldn't put the top down.
Forecast tomorrow is only for a "chance of rain" so the top should probably go down
Too bad my drive to work is only 2 miles. I expect I will have to go out for lunch!

Not bad... when I get BMW loaners I tend to not mind taking the car in for service.

I actually look forward to the routine services...it is always a surprise with the loaner and my dealer has a valet service, they come get my car at my office and leave a new BMW loaner in the driveway for me (cost is $13)
wonder what I will get next week when my sleeper goes in for a software update to turn on the eyebrows?????
