I have the paint starting to peel on the spoiler right where it meets the black, 2020 donnington grey.
I have not said anything to the dealer yet I'm close to needing service I'll bring it to their attention when I drop it off.

Not exactly the same issue as others, but I just noticed two paint flakes having simply chipped off above the driver's side door next to the roof rail of my 2021 Donington Gray.
I showed the issue to a friend of mine who has been running a car paint and body shop for 40 years, and to him it looks like a manufacturing fault with the paint adhesion. Several layers of paint chipping off and leaving sharp straight edges are according to him a sign of a problem with the adhesion. The shape and location almost on the roof make it impossible for it to be from something hitting the car and I have not had anything hit me before this appeared. I have reached out to my dealership this afternoon and am waiting to hear back from them. I had the car in for the 2000km service only two weeks ago and haven't been driving it since then due to COVID, so I didn't notice this before now. Now I am very annoyed to say the least! Any thoughts? |

This car has to have the worst paint I've ever seen on a car. I have never had a car so susceptible to deep rock chips like I have on my car. Arizona roads are terrible but it looks like my car is 5 years old. My previous 2 bmw's never looked this bad after this short of a time. Never had to touch up the previous 2 even after my full lease term driving in similar conditions.

The only thing I did after picking up my car from dealership was that I took it through Esso touchless wash (I know, I know) but everyone I talked to doubted that the water pressure could have torn chips off the paint like that, unless there was something wrong with the paint. I will have to see what the dealership will tell me and worst case scenario touch it up myself. Any tips on the best solution to patch a small hole like that? I don't think touch up paint will cover the hole... Whatever it was, sucks that it happened only 20cm from where the PPF ends... |

When you see chunks of paint in your washmit, you know it's an adhesion issues.... From what I can tell, my friend, you have a chip from something hitting the paint. |

Wait, are you saying that someone missing an appointment is the worst customer experience you've ever had in your life? I wish that was the worst customer service experience I ever had

No Im saying Ive been waiting 2months for the rep to come inspect a $83k vehicle with a known issue. It's a joke. The dealer has sent photos but the regional rep has to verify the problem. Come on!

Go to Herb Chambers BMW. I didn't have to wait for the regional rep. I raised the issue and they took care of it for me.

If the paint job turns out crap again maybe ask them for the m performance spoiler instead and leave it gloss black.

Also, are the paint issues limited to the X3/X3M? Or, are the newer BMWs in general exhibiting paint peeling issues. |
