Car is in the US! What to look for?

Hey All!

On the owners website it states my car is here in he US and getting one final look over and being shipped to my dealer. I am really excited. I have not heard from my dealer but expect to take delivery in a week or so. Is there anything I should look for during delivery? Any recomendations?
It is a 535I M-Sport. P1 P2 .

Thanks in advance!

I posted a similar thread. My first question is, for those whose cars were offloaded in NJ last week, how did the VPC fare during the hurricane? Let's hope they took steps to protect the cars (of course, after taking steps to protect the people working there).

And, FYI, there's no evidence of the car having been offloaded on the Wallenius-Wilhelmsen web site. The last transaction is "LOADED ON VESSEL" on August 14.
