Collecting soon - what to check?

Thanks. I would have overlooked the iPod cable! It is the latest production so should not be the Y cable but will make sure that there is something there. I went for the 40d with the dynamic pack, media pack, running boards (prevented me from getting the m sport version) 3rd row seats, 214 alloys ...

Collecting soon - what to check?

The wait is almost over and I am picking up my x5 at the weekend.

Apart from a thorough look around, is there anything else I should check for? I am thinking about things like missing tool kits, triangles and such like. Do they still give you a torch on the glove box?

Thanks

I looked into the roof mounted BMW accessory option but at £3000, I think not! (for a DVD, ...

Re: How long does it take?

The wait is very difficult, I am somewhere between barely contained excitement, impatience and frustration! :D This probably explains why I keep on revisiting the options list! Does anyone know, off-hand what the internal dimensions are of the centre console storage box? I need to work out how much ...

How long does it take?

I keep tweaking the options list, I am hoping that doesn't affect my built slot in any way. The dealer reckons that towards the end of the year BMW tend to under-commit and over-deliver on new vehicles to make sure that everything is complete for year end figures with a small buffer. Could be a load ...
