Bummer.. No loaner car?
I had an accessory belt break (due to a worn out pulley) and an almost overheat condition after leaving an event at MINI of Chicago last year, and they took good care of me after I had the car towed back there.
I had a power steering pump fail early on while the car was under warranty.
The second time it started leaking I had an independent shop take a look, and they fixed a bad hose connection and have had no troubles since.
