Going to pick up car from body shop what should I look for?

I am going to pick up my X5 4.8i from the body shop around 5pm after it was involved in a hit and run in a grocery parking lot over a week ago. The damage caused my rear tailgate to be replaced along with painted since it does not come from BMW pre-painted along with the top portion of the trunk to be repainted to blend in the new rear tailgate. The rear bumper was also replaced and painted in areas needed. What specifically should I look for before accepting the vehicle from the body shop and what specific questions should I ask them? I have already verified numerous times that no structural damage was done to the vehicle. Fortunately the vehicle that hit my X5 was raised so the damage was to the tailgate/bumper and since it was in a parking lot the speed was slow. Thanks

check for dirt in the paint. Also check to make sure you don't have any over spray on the rest of the vehicle. See that the paint finish is the same as the rest of the car, also that the color matches the rest of the car. Even check your wheels for over spray.

YEP, over spray for sure, even on all of the glass. Also, check to be sure no fisheyes, hair and grit in the paint, no bumps, and it matches, and if they roped it, that the job was a good one. Also, Did they add the right amount of Orange Peel to match the rest of the vehicle. I am serious! I hope it is light out when you accept the truck. Feel it....check everywhere

If you think the bodyshop touched the tail light assembly, I would also check to make sure the lights do work.
