Gotcha, A leased car is owned by one person which doesn't have the multiple driver situation. I do know some people who have leases and don't really care about what they do to it.

It is a 328i, not like it's an M3 so I would think the tendency to abuse it would be less. Also most people who get loaner BMWs aren't kids with a lead foot hitting the rev limiter and going crazy.

Have to have some confidence. Since it still has 2 years warranty, I have time to make sure everything is operating as it should.
