Hi All,

I am looking to put together a delivery checklist that covers things people should lookout for in their X7s at the time of taking delivery. The intent is to cover quality issues that have been seen on new X7s delivered to other forum members.

Prior to accepting delivery, members can go through this checklist and identify issues seen on other vehicles so that they can request the seller to correct them prior to accepting delivery.

I am hoping that this list will help me as well as other members who plan to take delivery in the future. Thanks.

Regards,
