recently got the 2013 x1 28 xdrive as a loaner.
okay to drive, but i can't find this car being sporty at all. the damn 8 speed transmission sucks...it just wants to stay below 1300rpm and get high mpg...

Best I got was a 335i vert. Was pretty decent. Fun to put the top down in the fall weather!

Like many other posters in this thread (or the other funny one referenced), it's probably easier to think of worst loaner cars than best. I can't recall ever getting anything other than a 328i or 328xi, though I usually get my service done on Saturday and wait, so rarely have needed a loaner.
As for your other question, I don't care that much how many M badges BMW puts on non Ms, but I think it's likely a bad business decision that may come back to haunt them. On the other hand, AMG has whored their badge out on MBs worse than M, and it hasn't seemed to hurt them yet.

Man I got one of those from Global Imports a while back. It sucked. The thing is even that POS takes 93 octane. Lol.

Had the 1200 miles service and the shop provided a F30 328 sport package not too bad.

i have a loaded up 328 in my driveway right now. my first experince with the 2013 model. first time ive used stop start, heads up display, looks like it might have lane departure as well. some quick comments. stop start isnt nearly as annoying as i thought it would be. the exterior is growing on me some even the front end which i at first hated. car feels quick and seems to deliver very good mileage. the interior on the other hand i dont care for. i like the red stitching and thats about it. the switchgear looks cheap like a civic. the nav screen is ugly the way it sticks out and doesnt retract. the red aluminum strip across the dash is dumb. not a fan of the piano black trim used on the doors. i couldnt get comfortable in the seats. it feels like i do sit down in it more as i have more headroom than in the m3, but it also seems the window and hoodline is higher. the hood is at my neck level almost and im not short. not sure what M division can do with this turd

I agree with you on the interior, there are component/elements in it that are decidedly cost cutting. The IDrive knob and surrounding button assembly is cheap feeling plastic. I haven't been in one, but I would image the M Sport has a more upscale interior. If(when) I move into a new M, it will probably be a M4 ( or M4 Grandsport(?)) |

But seriously.. The 335d is badass. I would rock one as a loaner or even a dd. That car is a blast to drive and has balls for a little puppy.

Apparently the sports traction control is non defeatable also? When I turn it to sport plus it show on the intrument cluster traction is off and on the nav screen it shows me traction is active and the dumb thing won't get sideways?
