Delivery questions and "to do's"
I will be taking delivery of my i8 on Saturday. From those that have taken delivery, What are questions that I should be asking? Things I need to be sure are there? Software updates for a 2015 car? Any advice appreciated!
What should I ask the dealer to do before deliviery? |

Always bring your own tire pressure gauge and re-check the tires after the car is delivered. And re-set the monitor if necessary. BMW dealerships often forget and the tires are overinflated when they are shipped.

BTW, the book says to inflate to 32 psi. I always inflate 2 lbs higher.
