I work in a call centre (part-time) doing roadside assistance for the US so these are simple things I ask people every day..trust me last thing I want is to be stranded on the side of the road without a tow hook...I've had to tell enough BMW owners to go buy a tow hook before we can tow their vehicles :P

Really REALLY fine tooth comb. Don't repeat my mistake: I didn't see anything large so I accepted it and drove off. Later that evening my friend (who used to transport cars for a living) took one look at the driver's side and found a small vertical dent. Of course, when I went back to the dealership the next morning, they didn't care to do anything.

The metal used in the body panels bends quite easily, so really look at it from every level. If they hurt your baby, make sure they compensate you!

And congratulations!!

Ignore anyone who has something negative to say about the car. Yes, as with anything, it has flaws. Despite that, it's a friggin' awesome little car. Admire, enter, drive, smile, exit, admire. Repeat.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that I'm actually from Australia, so our cars don't come with spare tyre.
