When you get it and confirm it in person you can come back on and further further validate what us Misano Blue owners already know
:wink: 
Collected! Good preparation by the Dealer, one slight paintwork blemish dealt with before I left. Slightly terrifying drive home as the first modern auto box I've ever used, now in SWMBO's garage for me to get used to all the option configurations.
Interestingly does not seem to be missing any options and certainly has the touch screen, will report back after every screen has been checked out and more photos to be taken in a less urban location.
But... the intial 15 miles today indicated what a great car this is!

[ref]PeterE[/ref], excellent, looks lovely, enjoy, you’ll figure out the tech at some point, more important to drive it. I still don’t know what half of mine does and there’s screens I don’t even know about never mind have been in :lol:
Congrats Peter - looks amazing!
@blaster1956: I hope your collection this weekend is as good as mine was on Tuesday. You may want to check these items out from what I've noted down:-blaster1956 said:
1. The paint is incredibly soft and although my Dealer did a first class prep with no swirls, any over-zealous rubbing with a wash mitt or an unused microfibre cloth may finely scratch the clearcote which I believe may take up to 60 days to cure properly so only very careful washing!
2. There is what appears to be a blue plastic protective film over the sill kick plates under the doors - leave on or peel off? What have others done? The blue desn't look right with red paint, on the other hand it will protect the kick plates which will inevitably get scratched
3. Touchscreen - fitted and working
4. CarPlay - absent and no menu option for retrofit although that may come later I guess
5. Wireless charging - absent or does not work with my iPhone which I always charge wirelessly
6. NFC - works with the keycard and my phone although I doubt that I'll be using either for this
7. WiFi hotspot - not sure if this is installed or not and not sure how to find out!
8. A good job I held off buying some floor mats as the Dealer provided some FoC
Photos please when you can, mine from today's outing to seek SWMBO's approval (granted!) are here: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119419&start=240

My dealer actually pointed this out to me as a "we've left that on for you to take off if you prefer, some people like the blue, some people don't" sorta thing. I've left mine on for now, but since it's a dark blue car it suits it rather more than it might a red one!
PeterE said:
Probably absent - I think it was dropped from the 2022 spec entirely and unavailable for a while before that. Look for a battery symbol inside the NFC symbol moulded into the rubber slipmat, and an indicator LED to the left of that (https://youtu.be/PXkgirtE-Ng?t=15 shows the same tray, I believe, but rotated 90 degrees in that car). If those are missing, it's the NFC-only tray with no wireless charging.
PeterE said:
Interesting that you got a keycard - I didn't, presumably because Digital Key wasn't available when I ordered - which meant it was rather a surprise to get the 'Welcome to Digital Key!' email a few hours after I collected the car! Shame it doesn't work with my phone so I can't set it up...

Great looking car, and a splendid plate on it too!

Thanks for this Peter, I'm picking mine up tomorrow so will check through these items on collection. btw I believe the Wifi hotspot is part of the missing Wifi options (Delete Code 6P1), so should get fixed with a software upgrade at some point in the future.
Photos look stunning, I'll try and get a couple up tomorrow, then a few more when I find a suitable backdrop.
I'm now properly excited!
