G05 Delivery Checklist
Since it seems like there are quite a few options, particularly for Connected Drive, WiFi, etc., I'm wondering if it's worth compiling a delivery checklist for folks who will be picking up a car. So, if you took delivery of a new X5 (or are picking one up soon),
Updated from thread: Prior to taking delivery 1. Ask for any software updates to be done 2. If desired/appropriate, ask that no front license plate holes are drilled 3. Confirm Connected Drive emails account Day of delivery 1. Confirm price and details of agreed upon deal 2. Confirm options/package as ordered/listed 3. Exterior/interior - check paint damage - check interior for problems, damage - confirm all usb/power ports work - confirm all controls work - confirm all extras included - tools, net, floor mats? 4. Confirm Connected Drive works 5. Confirm all app services work - apple carplay 6. Check air pressure in tires (history of over-inflating at some dealers) After delivery 1. If desired, turn off steering intervention What else? Last edited by Tlon; 12-10-2018 at 09:37 AM.. |

I take delivery on Tuesday. I have been monitoring the threads here and have handwritten notes that I need to rework on Monday.
My mobility has been limited due to foot surgery so it was not convenient to go to the dealer. In the meantime, my salesperson has been slow to respond to the latest queries. I at least want questions of software, colors, tires along with other order specifics confirmed before I show up Tuesday morning.

Double and triple check the paperwork, make sure you have all of your numbers right. You never know what they'll throw in at the end. A percentage point here, a couple thousand there, it all adds up.
And yes, just read threads, make notes, and build you own list of things to check. Mine you, don't waste time on things you can change, focus on making sure your end is covered. |

i mean this is a cool thread and all, but for those of us doing a PCD or working with an out of state dealer, what options do we *really* have? i'm not gonna fly/drive all the way to south carolina and then refuse to take delivery if one of the USB ports doesn't work...

I have bought cars out of state without going to look at them but had trusted friends go look at/drive them for me. If you don't have this option, we will all pray for you |
