Flying to Seattle to Purchase 2008 X5 - Any Suggestions to Improve My Experience?

A very exciting day is approaching and I want to ensure I do this right. So I'm looking for any hidden "gotcha!' that will negatively affect my experience.

I plan to fly to Settle next week and purchase a 2008 Space Gray with Black interior --> Sport package with 19" wheels and just about all other options except the 3rd row seat and rear entertainment.

One of our members did the local test drive for me, this board is full of awesome people, and he gave it a passing grade. I decided to finance in an extended warranty from National Warranty Corp. (5 more years and up to 100K miles with zero deductible - only normal wear and tear items excluded)

I'll leave with a temporary tag and drive it back to St. Louis. There, I"ll pay local sales tax and get it licensed.

See any gotchas???

Nice. That must be a long drive. 2 or 3 days?
BTW, where have you been hiding?

Long - yes - but a beautiful drive. WA, ID, MT, WY, SD, IA, MO. Just me and my new X for 3 days.

Hiding? Yeah, I've been quite tardy... Where did all these people come from??? . I have actually been working that new job that is consuming me to the tune of about 12 hours per day - plus extensive travel. But, this new X has forced me back!
