Delivery Checklist?

Hi all,

My M340i xDrive will be delivered in 2 weeks. I am looking to create a checklist to use to accept the car (I have searched the forums and could not find anything). The list would contain things like:
  1. make sure all options are on the car
  2. check the body panel gaps
  3. etc.

What else should I look for? I know many people have been having trouble with ConnectedDrive, what should I do for that? Should I check the A/C temp?

Thanks for your inputs!

Make sure you get two keys and the NFC card key activated?

Good luck with ConnectedDrive--mine is ~80% working today, but that changes day to day.

If you have a decent dealer that's not hugely far away you should be able to get anything wrong fixed at a later date when you notice it.

Check the air pressures. The factory over inflates the tires so when they are sitting at the port and on the ship they don't develop flat spots. Dealers are supposed to adjust the pressures as part of the dealer prep but often don't do it
Early this week when I picked up mine all the tire pressures were at like 52psi!

Great question. Mine is set to be produced week of 8/5, so would love to see additional input from those of you that have been through the process before.

Garage List
-Make sure all the manuals there
-Make sure you have the front license plate bracket (if not installed)
-Check under the front bumper for scrapes!

I refused delivery of my F10 due to heavy scrapes under the bumper. I was given a loaner and BMW had the bumper refinished.

I also ask my dealer not to "prep" the car. They just do a safety check and deliver me the car with all the wrapping and plastic. I'd like to do my own new car detail & etc.

I wished I checked this thread before taking delivery of my 330i xDrive today. I didn't get a NFC card today. Should all G20 with M Sport (includes comfort access) have it at delivery?

Check thoroughly for paint scratches
Check wheels for curb rash

NFC key card delivered and activated
Tire air pressure correct
All manuals in glove box

Check under front bumper for scrapes
use thermometer to check A/C temp at vents
floor mats delivered
full tank of gas
Connected drive app installed on phone and working
Software is up to date


anything else?

Did you check in the cover that holds the manual? My key card is in the small slot in the cover that holds the owners manual.

I will check when I get the chance, but I doubt I missed that, I did go through the different manuals thinking that it might be sandwiched in between.
