Thanks ajob...awesome advice. And others.
I swung by the dealer and talked to a couple folks. For clarity this is not a pock mark or door ding or gouge or chip but a protrusion above the ordinary finish. The car was not repainted or repaired by a human or crashed or reworked. It came from the factory like this. I am increasingly thinking I will live with this blemish. Kind of like the Hopi Indians here in the US that intentionally added an imperfection in all their woven rugs...as only God was perfect. However, I am still going to talk to a professional paint shop to get their opinion, but may not be worth the risk of breaking the paint layer. Anyway I will continue to obsess about this and other things as I know you all will. Thanks for the comments guidance and feedback. See you on the road. |

instead of repair, I would go for a credit or a reimbursement of the total cost of repair and leave it alone. it is a small speck and repainting and fixing it would be a laborious task to get it perfect

I would agree with sales dept. I am a fairly good judge of character and spent some time with them sooooo feel good with what they were saying and recommending. Plus I was upfront about why I was there and what I expected and didn't expect. I do not think all dealers are a-holes. Sales dept is another story in my memory be and the differing goals. Bottom line is the service dept needs to provide good service or it will be in trouble. Prices and rates are a different discussion...no doubt they are high. And to be clear I did use an independent mechanic for yearrrrrrs on my prior BMW. I'm also not a complete car idiot. This may create some discussion....my reply is not meant to flame or bait. Just my experience and opinion...others may have a different perspective. More information is better always.

If they put a meter on it they're not lying.
They're showing him it was not re-painted. I really think this is much ado about nothing. This is not the last imperfection the vehicle will incur.
