Clive,
Give 'em hell. This is one reason I try to avoid car going back to dealer at all costs.
By the way I was at my local dealers last week looking at the new E90 and saw the night security guy turn up for work. The security man's cabin is in the new car compound and I was amused to see him place his holdall on the roof of adjacent new 1 series whilst he unlocked the cabin and then pull of his holdall. If he did this every night I would expect that the new car would have a very scratched roof.

Agree. I had very bad swirl marks after the dealer delivered my car in the US after European Delivery. I complained, and they had the car detailed. No swirl marks whatsoever. So, a good detailer can completely remove the swirl marks. I would find one, and have the dealer pay for it.
I'm leaning towards no special delivery options for this very reason. Rather have it shipped clean and "wrapped". I'm also kinda flabbergasted that the original poster's notes were ignored. That's my plan... taped to the windows and obvious interior pieces. My current car has always been okay with a verbal request, but my new 5 will be much more dear to me...
