I think that's the message, that dealers have a wide degree of latitude in the whole "loaner" system. Some do great at it, and some do poorly.
That said, I've always considered the loaner thing to be a benefit and have never complained about my "free" car. I've gotten almost everything at least once (X1, X2, X4, X5, 3s, 5s and 7s) over the years and a couple of Enterprise rentals (LeSabre, Mustang, GMC thing) too.. I'm told they try to pair like for like if available, and I've been told to come back and get something nicer when a repair went over a weekend.
Sounds like you shouldn't complain too much though, based on the other thread, sounds like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick is the benefit some dealers provide, nevermind a $45/rental.
