Got a call this morning from the dealer to say our 530D has arrived. 
We won't be collecting it until next Wednesday due to various reasons, but I was wondering if there was anything in particular we should ask/check when taking delivery.
Also, is it worth getting the service/maintenance inclusive package?
Any advice from you guys who have been through this process already much appreciated ...

ask them for a list of all options which can be pre-set by the computer. (Mirror folding, lights, alarm etc)
