Looking for responses from people who've actually received their cars.
By the way, you don't have to be a photogenic woman to expect a nice delivery experience. I'm guessing you've never watched a YouTube video before, just like you guessed I was a woman...

Actually, a few months back poterico2 was renowned as a chick magnet. So he may want to keep the bow for himself.

What has your experience been? Do they deliver with a bow, a car cover, or nothing?

Mine was out back in the service area. They had been charging it overnight, I think.

So they just drove it out and parked it on the wide sidewalk outside the front door. No bow, but one of their techies showed me a few recommended settings and paired my phone and key card.

At the time I didn't know what else to ask. I later went back for another session, which was freely provided.

The delivery at my dealer is always the exact opposite of spectacular (here are your keys, do you have any questions, ah, and here is a complementary €1.99 bottle of warm sparkling wine with our dealership logo on the label). Maybe I will pick up my next car after the i4 in Munich to experience a memorable delivery for once.

Speaking of my delivery, my dealer did hand me a Bmw backpack with about $200 dollars (at the bmw store prices) worth of gifts:

the backpack
a bmw first aid kit
two thermal mugs to fit my two cupholders
a bmw key ring
a usb drive containing all my closing documents and warranties
There may have been another small thing

I also bummed a nice bmw pen from the financial officer after signing the docs.

Altogether, better than a bow.

Poterico2 - I think you’ll find through this post that the average i4talk member is 50% more sarcastic than most psople. Maybe it’s a BMW thing….I learned it the hard way! But to answer your question, I got nothing special from my dealer. Nor do they seem to do any of that since I’ve been back a few times and I’ve never seen a bow or cover. I did get a young salesguy telling me (after I peeked at my car lovingly) - ”hey, you can order one today!”. And I said, ”no need, that one is mine.” Maybe if I was a photogenic woman it would have been different?

Just 50%!?

My dealer did let me choose either a travel cup or a baseball hat. For FREE!

I got several things (see my previous post). Prior to that my daughter gave me a bmw hat, which I wore to pick up the car.

Just to be sure: we are still talking about cars, right? I get a bit confused with the terminology. Delivery rooms etc. But as far as I can tell, nobody has mentioned midwives so far.

Once upon a time the deliveries of our babies were expected after nine months, to complete the analogy.

Alas, we are now seeing gestations somewhere between those of sperm whales and african elephants.

I should have done this. They ended up peeling it off and “cleaning” it for me. Leaving streak marks. Looking forward to my first hand-wash now to really make this thing shine.

I told them not to wax mine and they did. Luckily the people doing ceramic could strip that off.
