Lucky you. I'm in for service presently and they initially gave me a Nissan Sentra until I complained enough to get an X3. Using mini's as loaners is a great idea-- it is different enough from most BMWs that they may actually sell some through the loaner program. Good marketing idea from my perspective!
Happy motoring!
