What Kind of Loaner did you get???

Hey Guys I was wondering me coming from a 335i which is around a 50k priced car to now an M4 80k priced car do you think they will give me a nicer loaner?? Ive Seen i3 loaners X5 and 5 series so i know there is nicer ones out there and I don't want to get stuck with A 320 Slow any ideas how to score the nicer loaner?? or which dealerships give them out??

I'd like to try the i3... it's just for day. Wait, how many miles can I go before having to plug it in?

I'd rather drive something different, something I haven't driven before.

I was given a choice between a 5 series or an i3. I drove the i3. It was fun but I wouldn't buy one.

Do you guys get loaners at dealership you haven't purchased the car from? I move quite frequently being in the military and I find many dealerships (FL in particular) don't provide a loaner. Las Vegas and Phoenix dealerships were awesome to work with and gave me a 5 series.

I always pick something that gets good gas mileage. So typically a 328d, or 535d is what I choose.

Your dealership's fleet is typically determined on what they are overstock of or aged new unsold units.

Last time I took a car to the service and left the place I got an RS (or an S, who cares to remember) 4.

I usually wait at the dealership, coffee is there and a seat, what else would a nerd need?

In two weeks I need to take him in for a service on a weekday (school run) so I will have to get a loaner. Also I'm 1.5k away from the second service.

I need to leave the pup behind me and let the men take care of him. I don't like the idea much though lol. I don't think I remember what its like to drive a normal car anymore.
