am I allowed to enter my BMW ID on a BMW loaner?

DavyNM · 02-22-2025, 01:14 PM

I was playing with the 740i loaner last week. I got to drive the loaner for almost a week. Many stuff wouldn't work and just said I had to enter my BMW ID. or even sometime as simple as creating a shortcut on the screen. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to enter it on a loaner. Already returned the loaner yesterday, but thought I should ask for the next time. Thanks so much!

Only in conjunction with stuffing a bag of cash into the trunk (to make sure you will remove it)!

I found somebody's phone book in a loaner.

My car's manual mentions a "Guest" profile as "beneficial if a driver without their own profile uses the vehicle temporarily".

I always sign in on my loaners. I don’t link the key to my user id though. I’ve never been questioned.
