Follow the 'taking delivery' guide and let us know if your dealer gave you any extra goodies (shirt, cap, jacket...). That way I will know what to ask for.

my dealer installed the euro reflectors as prep. when i pickup they were already installed. excellent service. i also got 545 chrome grills too.
your dealer is nice to pick you up, nice touch.
if your prettiest steady lady friend is not available, the prettiest female staff of your dealership can take you out to lunch perhaps?

nice suggestions on the driving music.

It probably will all work out anyway, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten as quick an allocation from my local dealer. I'm more liable to drive by that dealership than MB. And no I can't sleep.

Take your air pressure gauge and check front and rear against the gauge. Dealers are notorious for delivering with the same pressure in all four tires. When you find the wrong pressure, ask the salesman what else should you expect to find later?
