new car stuff

Just ordered my P5 and hopefully will get it in a couple of weeks. My question is what are things I should look for befroe accepting my car? Also what is the break in period?

TIA

Walk around the car and look for any nicks, dings, etc. Have them fix the dings before you take possession of the car. If you don't, they'll never fix them after you leave.

Break-in procedures are in the manual. Don't slam on your brakes, vary engine RPM (no hours and hours of highway driving) don't redline it. Keep that up for about 2000 miles. Change your oil early...

blah blah blah
