Sooo much fail on Page 7.
I just got a loaner.
2009 Nissan Maxima. I love the keyless entry, and push button start. Everything else may just fry.
$35 a day tho (WITH insurance). Can't complain.

My Ride: 650 Grand Coupe
Model Year: 2016
I dropped my car off for service today. The dealer gave me a 2009 328i xDrive as a loaner. While it's not for me, I can't complain because I'm using it free of charge. I'm over 6ft 3 and it's just too small for me. Also like someone else mentioned before, it is weird being in a BMW without the iDrive. It handles nice, but it doesn't quite have the nice ride that we get in the 5 series. You really hear every expansion joint that you go over in this 3er.
Anyhow, here's a few phone pics.

My Ride: 2007 530i. Purchased 6/28/07. Titanium Silver Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Dark Poplar Trim, Steptronic, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, Bluetooth, Adaptive Control Xenons. 10/30/07 Added OEM 124s with 245/40/18 & 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. Installed red Cal Covers� from BavAuto. 11/21/07 Added OEM all-weather floor mats (for winter, carpet in summer) and coat rack. 6/26/08 installed M5-style rear spoiler. 6/30/08 put on red reflectors. 8/22/08 Euro turn signal stickers applied. 3/20/09 Installed Shadowline Trim. 3/27/09 Added Matte Black Kidney Grilles from Trinity. 4/03/09 Installed Bimmian Shadow Matte Black 530i Badges. 4/04/09 Installed LED license plate lights from Trinity. 5/01/09 Installed Brabus Interior LED Kit and White Angel Eyes. 5/02/09 Put in Brabus 6K Fogs. 5/14/09 Removed charcoal filter. 5/15/09 Installed light smoke LED side marker lamps from Trinity. 5/21/09 Sprint Booster. 6/12/09 Painted exhaust tips flat black. 6/13/09 Pulled red Cal Covers and painted calipers low gloss black. 6/27/09 RPI Ram Air Scoop from Trinity. 8/15/09 Installed Brabus's silver invisibulbs front and rear. 9/24/09 Installed R-Dash license plate LEDs from Brabaus (John).
My i-Drive told me I needed a brake fluid flush today, so dropped off the 530 this morning. I got this well-optioned '09 528xi. Black with natural brown interior, comfort seats. The car feels solid and comfortable. What a difference 225/50/17 makes over bumps! My SAs are really cool and always hook me up. I really appreciate the service I receive at Autohaus.

Wow, I had no idea they gave cars other than BMWs as loaners! I've always been getting either X3's or 3 series!!

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda....yes YET another Mini!
Does this look like a taxi to you too??
Just put a meter in it and you're good to go!
Perhaps like the world's smallest school bus??
The steering wheel is a BIT too small for a school bus though!
How "simple" would the student have to be to ride the "Mini School Bus" to school??
Damned cute, but it SHOULD be replaced with our X5 by this afternoon!!
The garage is SO much more spacious with these Minis, I'm not sure it will look correct with BMW's in it again!
