sorry to start a new thread for this but i didn't find anywhere appropriate to post this quick ques. but anyways, do u have to pay to get a loaner from bmw if your car is being serviced there? If so, how much does it cost?

Normally free, but it is not gauranteed you will get one, you need to discuss this with your service dept.

If I dont get a loaner I get a shuttle home.

ya i called the dealer and they said i'm gonna need a loaner but i didn't ask them if i had to pay for it. So basically it's free in all cases if they think u need it? i dont want to go in 1 car and find out that i have to pay for the loaner.. or else i'll just drive w/ someone...

I am quite sure you will get a free loaner...most dealers are pretty good about it, as long as they are available.

all loaners are free . The trick is getting the dealer to loan you one. I've heard many of the users of this board to make friends with your service advisors so when you need a loaner you 've got a better chance of gettin' one ..Or if you have no problems yelling and screaming in the middle of the showroom floor you'll probably leave with a loaner .

Making friends is always a great help. My dealer for the MDX (Acura) truly caters to their customers. My dealer doesn’t have loner cars but there is a rent a car place down the street that they will get cars from, all you have to do is ask. They arrange everything, someone from the rent a car place brings the car to the dealer and gets everything set up, all you have to do is sign a paper then the dealer takes care of the rest. When you return the car the dealer will bring the car back to the rent a car place so you never have to do anything. Everything happens quickly so you don’t have to wait at all, if you request the rent a car it will be waiting there when you show up.

my dealership only offers a free loaner car if the BMW was purchased from them and the service work is within the warranty period......that is their policy.........

My dealer's loaners were all being used when I went in, so they loaned me the service department's own little 325 wagon, with only 700 miles on it. Now that's service.
