well, thank God I was not doing anything like that!
I never beat on loaners - I never beat on anyone anymore - I'm grown.
But even when I did used to beat on someone, I never picked loaners - I always had friends that needed to get some steam off too

I suppose my posts are so compelling that Calvin feels compelled to count them.

I really did like my 335 xi loaner. From 0-70, the car is a beast. My 550 does seem to have better acceleration at highway speeds but the 335 trounces it in 0-60. And the 335xi does exhibit much more body roll in the turns than my 550 which basically has none. The 335xi's lateral grip is not nearly as tenacious as the 550. Also, the 335 xi has the same annoying throttle delay as my 550.

daaaaatm, y'all are a bunch cold MoFo's
Ridiculous that its a 15 hour affair to replace a starter! Glad you're getting the car back though! Hopefully, this time its fixed... (crossing my fingers)

The starter was replaced. The solenoid failed. I am picking it my tomorrow morning so I will let you know how it runs. I still am astonished that it took them something like 15 hours of labor to get to the starter, diagnose it and replace it. BMW really buried the starter in the 550i.
