I definitely agree about the Camry as a loaner. That's absurd. In my opinion, even a 3-series means you're driving a less expensive car, but at least it's still a nice car and still a BMW.

I had a 3-series a few years ago and never had a single problem, took it in only for maintenance. That was the first year of that model also ('99). Hopefully I'll have the same experience, but I'm starting to wonder if I should cancel or put my order on hold for now.
