Returning your base 430i loaner and getting back into your M3 is blissful
There is nothing so satisfying as returning your base 430i loaner and getting back in the cockpit of your F80.
That is all.

I had a new G20 2019 330i as a loaner during my 1200 mile break in service and I couldn't wait to get back in to my CS. I enjoyed ragging on the 330i for a bit though

The dealer gave me an M240i loaner last week. Wasn't too bad performance-wise but the steering was twitchy AF. I still was super glad to have my M4 back.

I had to have my entire car repainted due to 1 day of snow/road salt and had a Subaru Legacy 2.5 liter as my rental for 3 weeks (FYI dangerously slow, tons of body roll, WTF Subaru?). Got my car back yesterday and I have decided I am taking an entire week off to enjoy this beast.

They should really standardize the screen size across the fleet (i.e., make them all bigger)

I would agree... travel a lot for work, so it's always fun to dump the rentals and get back to my ride.
Last rental was a Durango, before that a corolla!! I couldn't dump that car fast enough! I found myself getting highly irritated as the days rolled on in those cars! Of course while in the Corolla a beautiful M5 goes blowing by! I don't think she was tall enough to touch the damn pedal! Felt a stab directly in the heart when I saw that!!!

Loaner tday was the new 3 series. Pretty nice car, I like the new instrument screen. I always found the M3/4 display a bit disappointing. Lane departure now goes a step further it actually turns the wheel by itself to correct any drifting. Takes getting used to and I think I’d find it annoying but it’s a good safety feature I guess.

Yes. My car is now worth $3.50. I actually didn't have the hood/roof painted. There were huge patches of no paint everywhere from that red sand stuff they put on the road blasting my car. It was around a $10,000 job covered under comp insurance. Even the protective film in the rear was torn to shreds. I'm also having a new windshield put in next week because opposing traffic driving through the sand on that trip kicked up numerous rocks and shattered my windshield in multiple locations.

I've never seen so many jaws drop from the profs at my detailer and paint shop. And I have been in some duzies. Luckily, even though I live in a relatively rural area we have some of the best paint/repair talent in CA.
