My Ride: 550i Manual Sport
Model Year: 2007
Engine: 4.8 L N62 V8
I scheduled to have my 550i serviced with BMW 2 weeks ago. I dropped it off this afternoon and to my surprise, they give me Toyota Camry as a loaner. I am new to BMW so i didnt know to expect this. I didnt think they would even insult me like that.. This is the last time i will deal with them. Competition BMW in smithtown NY sucks!!

My dealer only hands out BMW loaner if you bought the car from them otherwise you get an enterprise rental at their expense.

At least it is good on gas, so you don't have to spend a lot of $$ at the pump lol. 
I'm new to BMW also, so we'll see what I'll be getting as a loaner. With Lexus I've always requested an RX loaner but had to get an enterprise rental once because I was going out of state LOL.

Most dealers here in So Cal have gone away from loners and went to rentals... REALLY CHEAP rentals... like Chevy HHR, Kia Rio, etc... We'll be lucky to get a camry here
