amcintosh, ooh that is ugly! Definitely post pics post repair.

edit: amcintosh, maybe it's a bit of ostrich feather. The car gets a quick wipe down buy an automated 'feather duster' before the paint is applied.

Schmed, the gas filler door is painted along with the car as it goes through the paint process. If you watch the production videos of the x3 you'll be able to see the filler door on the right side of the car ( front door window). Weird... you would think that would happen to all or none.
