Best wishes for 2005 for everybody.

I am getting my 535d tomorrow
I can't check every option and function, but what is a must to check before I leave the dealer? Any suggestions.

Only thing I can really say is tell them to explain the iDrive to you.. NAV will take a while to learn... know how to set the climate controls and stuff like that its actully all pretty easy once you get the hang of it... oh and the RADIO

I suggest:

Heated seat check, I read on this forum big problem: too hot (perhaps in USA).
Check Phone and .........enjoy your drive.

i think the most important thing to check is the body. make sure there is no scratch, dent, ding, any kind of damage. also check the paint and make sure the whole body has the same color since a member had a problem with the paint before. i'm not worry too much about how to operate all the "toys" since your sales advisor has to explain everything to you. please post some pics after .

Check the interior also for nicks, scuffs or marks on the Leather areas and Wood trim.
