Question SoCal Dealer Service Loaner Cars Help

Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone knows of a dealer that gives out loaner cars even if you didn't buy your car from there.
My car is falling apart right now as you can read in http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=1#post2467078 and the dealer I got my car from, Alexander Imports, Says they won't have a loaner available for 2 weeks!

when I had my E36 serviced at Irvine BMW, they gave me a rental car for a day since the repairs wouldve taken them longer than 6 hours. Initially they didn't offer it since they believed the work could've been done the same day. It was only when I came back to pickup the car did they agree to let me have a rental car.

It was a camry, and they paid for it...

Appt 2-weeks ahead for a loaner is typical that's usually the case with my dealer.

Although, last week I got lucky and could have gotten a loaner 4-days out as it was I made an appt a week in advance.

I'm having a hard time getting a loaner car from the dealership I ordered my E92 from.... I have to sell my car within 2 weeks to this guy, but my car won't arrive for 3 weeks... , trying to convince the dealer to give me a loaner for a week... do they usually do that?

Wow That sucks!
When i had my Mercedes, Fletcher Jones MB had like 100's of loaner cars available and I never had an issue.
Even at Crevier BMW never an issue getting a loaner. Even 1 day notice.
