Just washed the MC and noticed the paint has started peeling away from the plastic nose around the BMW badge. Anyone else had this?

no way, and no way should you either, have a closer look for evidence of poor repair.

No repairs fella, came to me with 2.5k on it. My old Z3MC had a similar issue with peeling laquer on the bonnet. Tokk me ages to get BMW to sort it.

I would put alot of money on its had a poor repair!
Worked for manys years running a large insurance aproved bodyshop,
The amount of times we would call a customer to show them while repairing
their car that its been repaired before , only for them to say i have had the car from brand new and its not been painted by me!

Cars in transit will now and then recieve light damage and
are repaired a lot of the times by mobile scuffs away type companys
( this is not a dig at companies working this way)!

A ex work friend now operates this way and i know paints for many of the large
main dealers! Mainly carry out bumper corner blow in's stone chips etc

I recently had a maserati in the workshop which had just came from a very well
know ferrari/ maserati dealer only to point out how bad the finish was on the wheels ! They had just had a refurb by the dealer and where Sh!!t!
Now the dealer does not have the facilities to carry out such work! and you can guess how they where painted?

Good news, the stealers have agreed there has been no bodged repair and the warranty claim has been authorised. Just need to book it in now. Surprisingly helpful dealer too, in the past they have been s4ite. Suppose the bodywork dept is a different outfit to servicing though.

Hi, i have just found 3 areas of laquer peel (rear bonnet lid and rear edges on panel)on my M3 SMG 03 plate, after a polish. Purchased off private individual who had it from new, full BMWSH & docs, kept in garage with dehumidifier so hopefully low re-spray risk. In slight panic as keep being told that might need an expensive respray by non experts. Any thoughts if covered on warranty (this might be 6 years?); does the laquer continue to peel; is it a nightmare......help!
