Re: My new ride BMW 523i
You should get 2 keys with the radio transmitter and 1 backup key. In addition, they will give you a tag no. which shows the number of your key pattern. Keep that safe.
Most important thing is to ensure that the chassis no matches your log card. I have had a friend that drove another person's car for 1 mth before realising that that was not his car. There was a mixup at the PDI center. (Shall not mention the make of the car)
Mechanically, check for fluids such as engine oil.... Also lookout for panel gaps and overall fit of the interior.
Look out for scratches and unevenness in paintwork. BM are known for super smooth paint and any pre-delivery dings that are poorly repaired will show up as waviness or blurness in the glossy surface.
Other than that drive out with a smile.
Best wishes on your ride dude.....

welcome to the e60 world...
take the car for a 10 minutes ride around the blocks with the your sales rep to look out for noises; ride anomalies before you take over the car. Good luck!
Also one anecdote on e63 though.. i heard was the BMW PDI center forgot to remove suspension coil damping stopper used during shipping and the bloke was driving his new ride for days not knowing why his car tilted one side. Duh!
Come to the e60 Tulip day charity drive this Sunday at Kallang carpark at 4pm. You will meet a lot of e60 owners..
