Best-Worst decision of my life?

There is an orange "Sold" tag now inside of the PW/b MC in the Mini Edmonton lot.
if all goes well i will be driving her home this week!!

New
2008 PW/b MC
Convenience and comfort
Media connect
3m rock guard

Any pointers, or things i should look for or have ready at pickup?
And any issues with mini/bmw edmonton i should be concerned about?

Congrats. I've had my PS/B MC since April and love it.

Based on my experience I'd look over the car very well before you drive it off the lot. My dealer could have done a much better job detailing it before I picked it up (wax residue on black trim; not vacuumed properly, etc.)

I highly recommend going with the paint protection film on the entire front end (hood, bumper, lights) if that's not what you're already doing.

Enjoy! At these gas prices, the way this car sips fuel is like icing on the cake.

yeah the first thing i noticed durign my trips to the lot was how Dirty the cars were, i told them i expected it to be detailed very well.
and did ask for the film of entire front end and mirrors. was surprized at the price of the film tho, I have no doubt that it is a wize investment givent hat i will be driving in a town dominated by large SUV's and company trucks, that throw rocks all over the place!

When I went to pick up my MCS, my daughter went along to look over the car for imperfections. She found only one -- a scratched plastic wheelwell surround. The sales gal was extremely apologetic and sent the car into the shop to have it replaced: done in a half hour.

RECOMMENDATION: Have someone unemotional and objective and meticulously observant go along and inspect your new baby

Congratulations!
