Now for delivery. There are a few things I am thinking about and have worked with the dealership to insure :
1. My wife's 335i was misaligned on delivery. We found out after damaging tires. This car is going to be racked, checked for alignment, and hard copy provided to me. Alignment and tires are not covered under warranty.
2. The ugly front license plate bracket is not going to be there. I want it in the trunk should I ever resell the car.
3. No dealer stickers or emblems. I do not provide free advertising.
4. The F30's I saw at the dealership had obvious orange peel in the paint. I am expecting a car without orange peel.
5. On a 50k car I get floor mats - and not the rubber ones.
6. The 335i E92 ships with 2 types of tires. I am assured I will have Michelin PS2 ZP tires on her. Stock size.
Once bitten, twice shy. Is there anything else you can think of to add to the list?
Regards,

1. You should be good.
2. Just ask them not to mount the front plate holder, they'll leave it off.
3. Also just ask, shouldn't be an issue.
4. Better get ready to be disappointed, your car will have mad orange peel, fact of life with a production car - you want perfect paint, get ready for a re-spray.
5. Depends on the dealer, technically they aren't obligated to give you any mats. But most good dealers will throw them in.
6. Also kinda luck of the draw, it's whatever BMW AG fitted to your car on the production line. If your salesperson promised something specific, hold them to it!
