Do you keep the loaner in the garage?

John 070 · 11-10-2009, 06:18 PM

I pulled it in just like I would my own! LOL Can't help it, a BMW is a BMW, it's a nice machine. It deserves to be treated well.

Mahhvinn · 11-10-2009, 06:39 PM

Only once but usually it goes into the driveway.

TWiTCHY · 11-10-2009, 06:42 PM

I don't see what would keep you from putting it in the garage...what's taking up the space if it's off at the dealership getting serviced? Might as well pull in an extra 30 feet.

Seed · 11-10-2009, 06:49 PM

I parked the 328 wagon auto they gave me on the street.

jopa489 · 11-10-2009, 07:05 PM

If you have a garage, and usually park in there, why not put the loaner in it? Not sure I see the purpose of this thread..

Ron1n · 11-10-2009, 07:06 PM

Definitely in the garage.....just because it's not your car, doesn't mean you shouldn't respect it.

MCMLXXXIX · 11-10-2009, 07:09 PM

of course it goes in the garage. a BMW is still a BMW and for the past 3+ years, the garage has been BMW territory lol

I335 · 11-10-2009, 07:12 PM

Of course I put it in the garage. I've been very tempted to wash it, and I think I probably have, but I've definitely cleaned the windshield. I can't stand a dirty car that I'm driving either - loaner or not. I don't treat it any differently then my own car - i.e. I don't beat on it at all, regardless of what model it is. I'm not impressed when people say they beat on a loaner because it's not theirs. IMO - you should take care of it just like you would take care of your own car...

nhhiep · 11-10-2009, 07:12 PM

do you drive the loaner like yours?

Tee212 · 11-10-2009, 07:13 PM

I would, wouldnt want any extra damage fees/hassles if some how it gets vandalized

2M · 11-10-2009, 07:17 PM

its not like its no1's car..its the dealer's..if a friend lets you borrow their car would u leave it outside cuz its not yours? they r doing you a favor by even giving you the option of a loaner i think you could take the extra 30 seconds to pull it in the garage

DJKhan85 · 11-10-2009, 07:21 PM

I would if I had a garage.....

noro · 11-10-2009, 07:24 PM

You can tell a lot about a person based how he/she treats other people's possessions.

Ender514 · 11-10-2009, 07:37 PM

bobr2001 · 11-10-2009, 10:53 PM

in the garage and out of sight

wrickem · 11-11-2009, 08:12 AM

The first thing I usually do is wipe down and vacuum the interior, I hate being in a dirty car with someone elses hand juices all over it. Then it gets the empty garage.
