I know u don't have to pay for it.. The talk was my local BMW service department states on there web site that they only give loaners to people that bought there car from them, I got the car used (at a MB dealership but the car was first bought at that peabody bmw maybe I can say it was my cousin and I got it off of them ) if anyone thinks I'll get a free loaner if they need my car for a few days.

I had this alarm, but with a quick reset the dealer fixed everything. Not a big malfunction, dealer said, only one chip (Passenger side restraint) not communicating correctly with main unit system.

OK droped my baby off today for it's first time to BMW. That is so cool how you just give them the key and they put it in that key reader and it tells all about the car NEAT. I asked what ver. they had if my car had to have software updated and they said he thinks 16.3 (what where the 16.3 fix's on non nav e60's) and as far as the loaner they use Enterprise and you get $35.00 a day but I had some options and for $10.00 a day (out of my pocket) I upgraded to a volvo (wouldn't call it that much of an upgrade ) it's ok they just got it in from a different enterprise and it was better than a ford focus right? So so far very good experience. The guy told me "what do you want to do" as far as leaving and I said I brought my book and I can stay he said if you need software updateing it could be all day and I said can I get a loaner? He said did you get your car from us, and I said uuummmmm and he said Honestly, and I said Honestly no, but my car was bought from BMW of Peabody less than a year ago and he said I see that, then he said "I play stupid today" let's go get you a car, that was nice of him... so so far so good. He seemed very smart when talking about the E60 but he said he loved the last verison of the 540 that was his fav. he said. He also talked A LOT about the new 330, but he spent a lot of time with me looking things up on his computer when I asked about mp3 playing (he didn't really understand my question and started looking up Ipod hook up and stuff so I didn't say anything) and if I got the back & front parking beeper thing if it could be tied into my Idrive like if it was bought with that option and he said he would have to get back to me on that.
Good news is that he looked up my car and the only other time it was in for anything was when it came in for pick up when brand new.
I miss her already the volvo is kind of like driving an old caddi (have had a few caddi's in my day) and the back kind of seemed floaty when driving but all in all it's an OK car but don't know if I would ever buy one.

Just got a call from Tom at the service center. They are having problems with my car, said they have to contact BMW or somthing. It has to do with the i-drive and the joystick they said.. So I guess there was somthing wrong with my i-drive huh... I wonder what is wrong? Said they will get in touch with me in the morning.

I had a problem like this and the wipers would not shut off. Turns out it was a Cam Angle Sensor or related fuse. The part was on recall. No more problems with it since touching wood

This happened me too. Just give the seatbelt a few slaps and it should go away, it did for me and I havent seen it since. I love technology
