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!!

lol!!! sometimes it depends on what is available but since you scheduled your appointment 2 weeks ahead of time they should of given you something nicer. I myself have never received any other than a bmw. I have had 2 x5's and a 328i sedan. The last time i was there i got the last bmw loaner they had and a guy who walked in after me was getting his 750 serived and they gave him a chevy aveo :o sucks to be him. Anyways if i was you i would express how you are unsatisfied with driving a camry and the next time (if there is a next time) you want something better.

I could have told you that years ago. Competition blows big time. Habberstad is where I go. I never get anything but a BMW as a loaner. Rallye has the largest fleet of Loaner cars on the east coast, but I hate their service department.

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

Who cares what they give u as long as u have a car. Plus its good on gas lol. What I usually do is take a trip to vegas when I get a loaner lol

I always have gotten a 3 or 5. Unless it was an extended stay, I really wouldn't care.

camry sounds good 'nuf, here all we get is a ride in a van to where you wanna go...LOL :( :(

At least it is good on gas, so you don't have to spend a lot of $$ at the pump lol. :D

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
