Checklist of what to look for when picking up car in the US after ED

mw5 · 03-24-2011, 08:25 AM

For those that have done European Delivery, do you have a checklist of things to look for when taking delivery of your car at the US dealership?

Should I expect the car to have been driven a few miles? (Besides the miles I put on it)

Has anyone had any issues when picking up?

Not US specific, but: Go during the DAY, check tires, check trunk and bonnet, check paint, check for dents check for colour uniformity - make sure you get a printed manual, service card make sure that the VIN matches everywhere, make sure that the preelivery checklist of BMW has been signed off, check that your accessories are there ;-) Check interior for scratches, leather/textile stains. Make sure you get two keys... It's BMW - they don't cheat but things still happen - Have fun driving it!

My speedometer on pick up (EU delivery) said 17 miles . That's OK - they do check the cars.
