I've had my fair share

Me too. I have a bunch of loaners and my 2 bimmers. I'm too lazy to look up which connections belong to my cars so I haven't deleted the loaner ones.

Perhaps this is easier than you think? BMW always uses the last 6 digits of the VIN for Bluetooth ID. If it isn't one of your VINs it's a loaner - or one you stole. Not sure about IOS because I hate Apple, but for more recent versions of Android you can rename the BT devices. I literally have named mine F80 M3, F30 340i, E92 M3, etc. After that there's no more guessing.

jesus ever loving christ, that makes perfect sense and is such a "german" approach.

Mans a Genius, my 2-er has been in and out of the shop for a while, kept getting different x1/3/5 3/4 series loaners for a period of 2 months.. felt like a BMW driver employee lol and my phones bluetooth list is vast. so renaming was brilliant!
