I'm expecting delivery in early August, may I ask:
--What is the Electronic Sales Agreement? Does it have anything to do with activating Connected Drive or any software? --Since I don't have a Samsung phone, can I skip the digital key setup? --Is it possible to check the radiator and the vibration dampener at delivery? Heard a few people had issues with them. --Don't I need to sign all the purchasing and financing docs before I can do a check of the vehicle? If there are defects, I will not accept delivery. --Do you still get the hard copy of owner manual these days? --How much time do I have with the BMW genius at delivery? I want to make sure everything is working or acceptable before I take the car home. (The genius at my dealer is 20-ish years old kid.) I read through the G05 forum over the past few months and compiled a list for my delivery. I'm not going to paste them here to flood the thread, but thank you for everything.

This is the list I got from reading over the forum for the past few months. There was another thread with a similar list that I used as a basis and adjusted for my needs. Some of it is overkill and I probably wont do, but I think it covers most issues people have encountered.

Bumping this for those picking up this month. I found this thread particularly helpful as I try to kill time before my pickup in February.

Oh interesting. Never done Performance Center Delivery to know the logistics. Do you sign for the car before flying out to take delivery or something? Or is it just that you've flown all the way there and don't have the practical ability to refuse delivery of the car if something is wrong? lol

Bumping this thread for anyone picking up in Q4 ... a few other resources out there:
• BMW has a series of short videos on iDrive 7 • Some dealerships (e.g., 1, 2) have created a virtual genius experience with videos and offer web conferencing Given how complex iDrive 7 is, seems like BMW should have an online mockup of iDrive 7 that people could play with to both market it, crowdsource feedback, and also to help people familiarize themselves with it. Having been fortunate enough to do multiple EDs across various gens of iDrive my normal move has been to ignore everything the delivery specialist is saying to get to the drive away part as fast as possible. This will be my first non-ED BMW delivery (i.e., they always have had a "genius") and iDrive 7 seems to more/less require setup and config. My plan is to study up and do the setup myself at the dealership and have the genius standing by if I have any questions. |

Bumping this thread again based on DrMicro's defective paint thread and Busa Dave's advice on checking to ensure the dealer (or dealers) haven't repaired any damage:
Quote:
* Price & financial details obviously * No-drill front plate, no wash, no dealer stickers/badges * software updates, all options / order specifics * check the paint work, windows/glass, lights/lens for cracks * idrive, electronics/software setup, configs like steering intervention * If dealer delivered (or PCD or ED?? and post-ED), check for VPC / dealer repairs Busa Dave anything else to add besides: Quote:

A few weeks ago it was 03/2021.46 but that is likely old by now, someone may chime in.

Thanks so much for sharing. Maybe this is a dumb question, but are these all really necessary? Can anyone please share a story when your new delivered car fell short? Do you just walk away and order another one? Or does the dealership fix things for you?
