What does BMW know?
Drove by my local Lexus dealer recently. There is a BMW dealer next door. As I was driving by, the BMW courtesy van was just pulling out. It was a Toyota Sienna! What do they know?

They know the Sienna is a hell of a lot more comfortable than it's American counterparts

There is one dealer here in Queens,NY a Mercedes-Benz dealer that does the same thing has a Toyota Sienna courtesy van. It's that Toyota reliability.

That's true, but they could probably use an X5 if they wanted to. Apparantly, they just choose not to.

My local BMW dealer (South Bay BMW) uses Scion xBs (the old one) as its shuttles.

Also true, but as luck would have it the X5 was in the shop and wasn't available for use

I was just gonna mention the same thing.
I do believe they also use it as a parts delivery vehicle as well.

My local BMW/Benz dealerships have changed their loaner cars and shuttles to cheaper alternatives, I don't blame them.

Also, because of the high frequency in which they (apparantly) are needed.
