I always punish the loaners I get from my dealer.. They get punished for the fact that I cannot drive my own car.. So driving em hard and aggresive..
That's the reason why I never buy a Demo car because I know others do that too..

No news. Maybe something next week. I'm not punishing their X3 3.0i, but am putting some miles on it instead of my baby -- getting to be a small consolation at this point. I'm not as ticked off with the dealer as I am with BMW. BMW is in control of this operation. They are supposed to supply the parts for their product.

I agree. There's no way the dealer can't have something overnighted -- especially if gdavis got one so quickly. Your car was in before his car so it's not like the part is on national backorder or something.
I remember when my dealer was having problems with a "previously married" part (do a search on 'divorce' for details), they were getting replacements overnighted each night until they got one that worked.
What is the story they're telling you again?

The story is simple. The part is on backorder and no news on replacement.
gdavis, give the contact info for your man. I'll have my service rep contact him Monday. Thanks.

You might ask BMW to make a car payment for you if you have a loan. I've heard of this being done before.
