Here's a good Delivery checklist on DBmini.us. A bit outdated in reference to a couple of older issues (e.g. Cold Start and Coolant leaks) that have for the most part been corrected but all in all it is a great checklist. I suggest to print it off and bring it with you otherwise you will surely overlook something in all your excitement!

Wow I am excited for you Bring a camera so you can take a baby pic .

I really don't know what you should look for. I walked around my Mini staring at every square inch of it in excitement while waiting for my MA to get free. Then I sat in it impatiently (wanting to gogogo already & drive) while my MA went over how everything works. Then I went to the finance department (I was financed elsewhere so was out of finance in 10 minutes). I really don't remember much was all a fog (all except the drive home )

I wish I would have had a voice recorder. I don't remember a damn thing the MA said.
