Study this website (and pics) so you'll already know how to operate your ride when you pick it up. Read/study the on-line manual.

Visit the dealer and learn to operate the car in person.

I read your mod list. Doesn't changing the brake pads void the brake warranty?

I went back every other week to buy something from the accessories department to pacify my anxiety!

Per the warranty agreement = yes. But, I changed my pads (from OEM to Hawk) on my Audi and the dealer never questioned me on the warranty. Even when they had to replace 2 sets of front rotors. I told them that they were aftermarket pads and to not replace them. They changed the rotors and never blamed me for the warped rotors. I had a good relationship with the service rep but may be different depending on which BMW dealer I choose for service.
