What to check/test/confirm at vehicle delivery!
I'd like to help compile a list of items we should make sure are addressed at vehicle delivery. I am a couple hrs away from my dealer, so running back and forth to deal with issues will be a hassle. Hopefully we can help each other by sharing our experiences thus far.
From my reading I've come up with the following: -Have the CA Activate the electronic sales agreement(ESS) -Test SOS call - Test Comfort Access - setup and test Connected Drive App. Make sure have "activation code" for iPhone. -Test Apple CarPlay - check can see Playlists -check for the weather widget -Test Digital Key Card -Test Remote 3D view -make sure all subscriptions are activated by CA...SiriusXM, etc. Please add to the list any other items you can think of for us to ask about or confirm when we pick up the vehicle. Thanks! |

That’s a really good list - I’d add
- Take delivery in the day, when there is good light. - Bring your order sheet - go over each added feature and ensure it is there and works. - Check paint for damage/scuffs - Check upholstery/interior for damage, etc - Make sure all electric/motor driven items work (horn, windows, sunroof, tailgate, soft close doors, seat adjusters, heated seats, cameras, steering wheel adjuster, mirrors adjust/fold, remote start, air/height/suspension, turn signal, all exterior and interior lights, etc. - Pop the hood (pull lever 2x) - make sure it opens/closes - Check tire pressure when you get home. My fronts were about 8-9 lbs over inflated. - I made sure Steering Intervention was disabled before I drove off the lot. My X5 was really well cleaned when I picked it up - the dealer did a nice job in that respect. Only thing we tripped over was getting Connected drive App to work on my phone and it was clear that the CA and the Genius were not going to be able to get it to work. Not a deal breaker and I elected to leave/deal with it later - a software glitch, not a factory defect. The way delivery works: - Get your paperwork sorted - A “Genius” walks you through setting up the vehicle. Took about 40 minutes. My genius was a slightly over-eager kid. Based on these forums and having reviewed the electronic manual and watched the numerous BMW iDrive setup videos... I knew a lot more than the kid - but he had a few good tips and oriented me to iDrive 7’s navigation. We walked through setup - including, logging the vehicle into Connected drive, getting my phone paired, etc. He missed enabling Apple Car Play which involves a number of different settings that need to be enabled/checked (WiFi). He also missed having me run through a screen that has a number of one-time agreements/approvals on data usage that is required to enable certain features. When you get home, expect to spend a few hours running deep into the menus to make sure you have seen and decided on EVERY possible setting. Be sure to move the iDrive control to the right of every screen and left of every screen and down until navigation stops - to ensure you see all screens/pages/settings. Turn the iDrive control to highlight each menu item and push the iDrive control down to see if there is more content/settings/pages behind each item. From the home screen, you can move the iDrive control up to expose even more items (I initially missed this). Also from the home screen - there is an icon (3 boxes) you can touch and it opens a menu to customize the home screen with Widgets. You can do all of this with the touch screen as well - vs the controller - but, I found turning the controller methodically highlights what is interactive, as your turn the controller. A quick way to get into the driver assist menus: Above the current temp setting screen is a car with a green circle around it. That is a button and when pushed, it takes you directly to a specific driver assist settings screen where you can quickly enable all driver assist items or set it to your individual/memorized setup (e.g. Steering Intervention deactivated). A quick way to get to the temperature/ventilation settings is the press the “Menu” button - the top half of the button below your current temp readout. Finally, don’t forget buttons 1-8 in the dash can be pressed/held in when you are on certain screens/items and they can be quickly assigned to that button for future one-click access.

For me the very first inspection was build quality, paint, wheels, leather,etc..looking for any defects. After that the electronic set-ups are a far second. I still view my vehicle as “The Ultimate Driving Machine” and not a iPad with wheels.
My dealer has a great presentation room with great lighting. |

As far as I understand the US is not supposed to get them and the factory screws up from time to time, F15 was the same the very odd person got them, but getting them is an accident if you get them.
