Evening PH.

I currently have an F10 5 series, it's only a few months old but today I noticed a dent in the roof above the windscreen. On further inspection, a good portion of the roof metal seems to be 'warped' or uneven, for lack of better words.

It seems to be centered around where the sunroof cutout would be, if the car had one, but it doesn't.

It's extremely strange, does anyone know anything about this, is it worth speaking to BMW about it? I really don't think someone has damaged it, the metal just seem mis-shapen or weak. It could have been like this for a while, but the front centre dent above the windscreen is new.

On top of this, the 1 series I had previously ended up with a dent in the roof too, which I assume was caused by an apple. Since that incident I've been careful not to park the F10 under anything, so I have no idea what's happened.

Any suggestions or advice?

Thanks.

Do you live between a student bar and student digs?

This. Someone has jumped on it.

I really don't think someone has jumped on it, it's not very deep and the surrounding metal feels soft (it bows in without much pressure at all).

It's very weird.
