528i Brand New Car Collection - Anything to take note?

[LeoLilieno]

I just place a booking for 528i and the car will be ready for collection soon. Is there anything that I should take note of? Anything special that i need to ask and clarify? This will be my first BMW. Cant wait for it.

Why did not wait for LCI?

 

[LeoLilieno]

Because the offer given by my dealer can help me save a lot. Thats why make is decision not to wait.

 

[aerotourer]

Could you share how much is the discount given? May change my mind if is worth to get pre-LCI model. Thank you.

Check ur PM.....

Leo, PM me too. Thanks

 

[LeoLilieno]

Orite.... Can someone answer me my queries?

I will check for rattling front and/or squeaking rear seats. Many complaints on this.

 

[LeoLilieno]

Is this problem serious? Can the local BMW Technician solve it? I am extremely sensitive towards this kind of squeaking sound.... Any other thing that I need to take note of?

Don't worry about anything. Just enjoy the experience of picking up a new car. Ironically, BMW cars sell on their own so salespersons don't need to do any selling. Hence BMW don't need to make you feel "special" despite the money you just spent. Buy a Vios and they make sure you feel good when you pick up the car, taking photos, giving you this and that etc..

Please PM me the price you get. Auto Bavaria is giving discount for 2013 non-LCI model so I'm not sure if it is the best deal. Want to ask if can throw in reverse camera at cheaper price.

Check your PM..... The offer differs every month. The offer I got in June was not honoured when I want to place booking early Aug. They said different month different offer. So, I go and scout around and manage to get better one.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to get some "free gift"

Indeed offers do vary. I got mine with 5 years BS+RI package in June

So have you gotten your car yet?

Answer to your question.
1. You need to reprogram, bro Beemer coder
can help you with it.
2. No other way to off the Idrive except what
you've mentioned.
3. Yes, there is one inside the glovebox

When you turn off your engine, press & hold the button for few more seconds & all should switch off. No need to press twice.

Yes. I have taken the car. Now enjoying it. Thanks for your advice bro. However, my SA told me yesterday that there isn't any USB port inside the console box. There is only one USB port and thats inside the armrest box. Hmmm....

Will try it later. Thanks bro.
