Paint peeling issues resolved?
I have a '23 X3MC scheduled for production early February and was surprised that, after all the research I completed before ordering, I somehow managed to miss the QC issues with peeling paint that seemed to plague many of the 2020-2021 models. Most of these threads seem to be from 2+ years ago, which leaves me hoping that things have been resolved for the LCI. Anyone experience this issue recently, particularly with 2022-2023 models?

I wasn't aware Toronto Red was affected. Can you send links to those threads?

I test drove a 21 that was black (or bsm) that had some paint issues I noticed around the hood emblem.
I don’t see any issues with the car I ultimately bought which is a 22 Brooklyn grey. |

Sorry to hear you had to deal with this issue, sounds like a PITA. What year was your car, if you don't mind me asking?

my service guy leaned in noticing i was visibly annoyed and whispered "think hes getting it confused with the m40i, i will talk to him" he was still overall reluctant but i guess he had to convey it as if he was "doing me a favor" fortunatley they sent it to a pretty good body shop here on Long Island that did a great job repainting it. kept the car for almost 3 years with no further issues. I did notice a tiny bit under the rear spoiler.. but it didn't bother me providing it didn't get worse.. |

I know this is a slightly older thread, but just found that my paint is peeling on my 2022 Brooklyn Gray X3MC on the driver's side rear bumper. Called BMW and they told me to come in when the service manager is there to submit something to BMW NA. Will update if anything comes of it.
Garage kept, 25k miles. |

No issues with my 2022 X3M that I bought last August (BSM) and the whole car is clear bra. So I may not be the right person to ask.
But from an up and close inspection the paint looked fine for me since I had the car paint corrected before putting on the clear bra and no issues. |

So I noticed this peeling on the front bumper right in the center of the lip on my 2020 Donnington and also the rear bumper has peeling underneath on the edges as well.
I had PPF installed on the front bumper and now it's clearly peeling around the outside of the PPF. My car is currently at Schomp in Highlands Ranch, CO and they told me that this is not covered by my warranty because I have PPF installed. Anyone have any experience with this type of situation before? My X3MC has 33k miles, I hand wash and detail it myself everytime and keep it garaged 80% of the time. |

I just saw some peeling happening on my '22 Brooklyn Grey (Grau!) where the bottom of the trunk spoiler meets the glass. Plan to bring this up on my next service visit or just before my warranty is up.
