Paint fell off

///Matt · 08-21-2006, 12:51 AM

Anyone get this? I was washing my car, after a long roadtrip, with MANY bug leftovers, and while I was drying my ride... Right under the right head light, there is a spot where the paint just... fell off? I definitely didn't hit anything, not a big rock chip, no brake fluid got on it there... it's just not painted anymore! I've only had my ride about a month, so obviously, I was pissed. I have Permaplate, so first step is to see if they'll step up for the whole bumper repaint (not repairable). If they won't, BMWNA is next in line... if THEY won't the selling dealer agreed to have it painted, but only if the other two won't step up.
Frickin wierd.

Anyone else get this anywhere?

Wow, I would think bmw would take care of you since you are their employee. hope you get it fixed soon. btw, I do not have your problem. How big of an area are we talking about? is it the size of a dime or smaller.

No pics, MDS, because I'm lazy, don't own a digital camera, and just didn't think pics were needed in this case... the spot is 1.5 inches long, .5 inch tall, rectangle shape.... no clear, no paint, straight down to red primer, with sort of jagged edges, but not chipped, just... gone. ?
