2012 GLK 350
Picking up my new 2012 GLK today, any advice?

Anything that I need to be sure to check over before I sign for delivery? It has Premium 1 and MM1 packages and Keyless Go.
Thanks in advance.

Read the thread on brakes about 2-3 threads below this one. Read about liftgate problems here. Search for the things to check thread here.
Enjoy. Tell us about your new GLK. We want to know the good and the bad. Hopefully the bad iis a short list.

Well I guess by this time you have picked up your GLK. Just enjoy. I hope the dealer spent a lot of time going over the vehicle with you.

I know its to late but the dealer try to sell you wheel, tire and glass protection?

If you purchased the 20's slow down over unavoidable potholes... also, go slow pulling into parking palces until you know the car - the front end kinda disappears when you look over the hood...
