What exacty comes with these bikes new from the dealer: (not talking options/standard features), I mean: How many keys (2 different types of keys?)? (Should there be a tag with a key re-order code), Owners manual, service manual, tool kit (containing what?), etc. etc. Thanks!

I am not at home right now to check but I believe that there is a little metal tag attached to the spare plastic key with a reorder code. Also, in the key area the dealer can order a spare using the last 6 or so characters from your VIN. Should you desire a spare metal key, get your feet set for a $65.00 enema.
In the paperwork mess that I recieved there was a temporary card for the BMW roadside service deal. I have heard rumors of a new owners welcome package that contains some other little trinkets that BMW will mail you. I cannot tell you what the contents are as I have yet to receive mine. My dealers told me he has seen folks get the package in as little as 2 weeks or as long as 7 months. I am somewhere around 6 weeks at this point.

I ordered a second metal key with the bike (thanks to this board, I knew I'd only get one, plus the plastic one) .. and the dealer more or less threw it into the deal.
I also got the optional tool kit: a bit miffed that I now have to carry BOTH - would've thought the pouch for the bigger kit would take the items from the wee one ...

Caroanbill, Can you take pix, or describe what is in the wee tool kit versus the other one? (And the pouch differences also?) Thanks!
Caroanbill= thanks for such great posts as well!
