That would be me! 😁 I would like to help out in any way possible. I could go see it. Take my own pictures. FaceTime with someone while at the car. Love the Alpine White and Saddle Brown combo. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I can be of assistance.

They've been edging higher for awhile. They literally don't make them like this anymore

Does seem like a pretty high-optioned car for a loaner, no? Kind of strange. Maybe the dealer's personal car? If they do that kind of thing???

Oh, great! Thanks so much!

The 328xdT loaner that my dad and I took a trip in stickered at something like $65k. They clearly punched it to loaner because it wouldn't sell, not because they ordered it that way.

Interesting. Possibly it was too high-optioned for the market at the time...

Has anyone tried the Mdecoder recently? It seems permanently broken, with no better alternative out there.

It would be for me. In my mind, that's basically equivalent to a car being sold out of an Avis fleet. You know those cars aren't treated nicely.

Yea, no set rule for loaners and sometimes you just take the old units off the lot to get the $$ subsidy from BMW to write them down and help you sell them. BMW gives the dealer a credit per month in loaner service. As long as it comes off the road with less than 5k mikes they can offer new car lease programs with minor mileage adjustment. While in demand on used market, wagons weren’t very popular new so this strategy could have helped them move it.

I've heard that BMW cut them all off. :(

That is a very likely explanation, as it was leased with just under 5k miles on it...

Well, crap!

I'm always a little circumspect about cars from the Louisville area...https://www.bizjournals.com/louisvil...%20on%20record.

Sigh. Despite Gimpy's handsome offer, I think I'm not comfortable buying from afar. Plus a secret fantasy is finding a 2018 version.

This is a well-optioned X3. But why would someone lease a car for 1 year and 5 months?
