Do some investigating on the paint shop the dealer recommends to make sure they will properly remove the old finish prior to painting.
That is really disappointing that BMW has not figured all this out by now.

I haven't seen any issues on mine but will take a closer look.

If I have to eventually get paint work done, I wonder will BMW cover the ceramic coating and PPF on the front?
