In my area, you get a loaner as long as you make an appt in advance.

Same here. I've never seen a BMW dealer who played the "you didn't by it here" card...across multiple dealers in multiple states and even a different country. Other brands, yes, but not BMW.

Never a dealer if you're out of warranty.

OP is from 2012 lol. That guy just bumped the thread a few days ago because he needed posts for PM functionality... not sure why he chose a thread from 9 years ago.

Probably just jumped to the last page where the posts are from 2012/2013 and didn't know the threads are sorted by most recent comment

Impossible here since (1) there is only one page and (2) the last post before that guy bumped it was from 2012. This is all because he posted in here lol. And now we are continuing on

Right, I mean if you're on the homepage (within a sub forum) at the top right you can jump to last which has stuff from 2012. Either it's not really important and you're right, we're certainly not helping the cause lol

Well - in that case a few services have to be performed for sure.

Or why he needs PM functionality that badly, unless it's to start dishing out spam ASAP.
