Take the triangle, first aid kit, tow hook and owners manual. Plus anything else you see loose in the car. Pack in home, don't leave it. I forgot the manual.

Put a note (there is one online in many languages) asking them to leave the euro plates in the trunk. Those are cool for the garage wall.

If your are doing the 3 series factory tour, which I recommend, take it well after or before you get your car. We had to rush from the car to make the tour, wanted more time with the car. 1 hour goes fast!

Bring cash!! It's $50 to have BMW drive your car to the port or $75 to flat bed it to the port. Cash only, no cards. Also, ATM is screwy.

Use the free lockers in the lounge. You acquire stuff from BMW, you also get €10 free to use in the gift shop and carrying that around is a pain. We didn't have time to go back s we lugged it most of the day.

Read all the literature online and type up a cheat sheet to look at, the experience is so cool you can get overwelmed and forget stuff.
