Best Loaner EVER

In all my history of getting loaner cars, this is single handedly the best loaner I have ever gotten.

2014 335xi M-Sport
The dual clutch is AMAZING which I know some of you have, but holy buckets. When I dropped off the '12 I was expecting a 320 or something of the sorts, not a 335, let alone an M-sport. 3400 miles on this thing. I kind of want to keep it...





Reason number 12093439048 why I love Co's.



What's the best loaner you have had? I've always assumed there was a sales technique in the loaners, but never had any reason to believe it until recently.

I always get nice loaners here in SoCal. I'm not a fan at all of the electronic steering on the newer cars though. Everytime I get my FBO 2010 back I fall in love all over again.

This is the car I had last time: 2014 335i M-sport

That's a heck of a loaner. I've gotten 535s before from Winslow, but never a 335.

And I didn't know the 2014s came with DCT - I thought they were just 8sp autos. That's badass, I may have to reconsider my love for the N54...

Actually you know what, I think I was mistaken. I don't think it's an actual dual clutch, it just acts like a dual clutch. It shifts so effing fast and hard, good heavens. You can hear it in the exhaust when you shift! But after the last drive home and a little research, appears it's not actually a dual clutch. My mistake!

The 8sp is excellent, but I'd still love a DCT.
