Best loaner you've had?
 
I just took my mini in for service today and got a freakin loaner thats better than my own. Its an 09 Cooper S convertible in dark silver with black stripes. Its got those badass 17' wheels with the rivets and those cool driving lights on the grille. On top of everything its actually stick. What sucks is that its snowing but I just wanna drive it so bad.

Anyone ever get an awesome loaner? Imagine a JCW loaner?!?!

17 foot rims thats freaking baller. Nah the best one is the only one I have gotten and that is an 09 Cooper in Horizon blue with a black roof. Had just about most of the options that I wanted. Its so comfy!

I got a 07-09 Corolla... Wanted to crash and burn that POS.

I just had a 2010 HB/B MCS for a week. It was very similar to mine, so can't really say it rocked any more than mine does.

I did like the cable/connection for the iPhone/iPod integration (which mine doesn't have). And I thought the piano black interior pieces were nice.

At MTTS 2008 Chicago a woman I know (I don't think she's on NAM) ended up rear-ending another MINI as the gaggle was leaving Chicago for the drive up to Road America at Elkhart Lake...this pic was right after it happened:

She ended up needing to leave her MINI in Chicago for repairs; however, as luck would have it, MINI USA was moving some of the brand spankin' new JCWs up to Road America for test drives, etc. and they offered her one as a loaner so she could still participate in the event. A good trade, I would say. :nod:

Took our 03 Mini in for service one time and our loaner was a Z4 Roadster.:thumbsup: Needless to say we didn't come back until the end of the day.

They had to give me a rental from enterprise because they were out of MINI loaners back in June or July. Well they called enterprise and they forgot about for about 90 minutes(not that I cared walking around the BMW showroom floor for 90 minutes) well the upgraded me from a POS to a fully loaded 09 black dodge challenger. It only had the v6 in it but it was still an amazing car to have for 3 days.

The last loaner I got was the worst, Baby blue, white roof, auto, JAC. I went nuts for the 5 days. It just worked out where I had it for 5 days because of weather and timing with work.

We've gotten MINI Convertibles, MINI Ss, and an '09 328i BMW (Black)!! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: I would be SOO happy to get any of those, especially the Z4.

I didnt know mini dealers gave out BMW's as loaners. I dont think my dealer does. But thats probably because the dealer I go to is one of or the largest mini dealers in the country. They have soo many minis there.
