[xDrive35i]

I was unfortunate enough to have newly paved road tar flung up onto my D-pillar the day after I took delivery of my second F25. My first one that I picked up back in February, though, had a fantastic paint job.

This second one has permanent "scars" from that first interstate trek from bugs curing themselves into BMW's joke of "environmentally friendly water-based paint." It shouldn't take 90 days to cure after delivery. I'm going in for service this weekend to have a few rattles and creaks checked out, as well as finding out what can be done for my paintjob. BMW has given me two of the same car with the same operating problems in less than one year. If it's not taken care of, BMWNA will reimburse the dealership for one of the 2011 fully spec'd 5-series or 7-series loaners they have for premier customers, as I will be taking one of those home with me until the problems are fixed to the liking of my upturned nose.

Finished with service people.
