Silverstone paint issue
Discussion
I've owned it since new and hasn't had paint to my knowledge unless at the dealer/factory prior to handover. It was built to order by me also so not one that was sitting around in a compound.
The pebble rash I've seen is a common problem, it's similar on the the OSF Door aswell.
What makes you say bad respray the rash or the spots themselves ?

The first wing pic looks to have a laquer run. The door looks like paint is flaking off too easily from small stone damage. (I may be completely wrong, just looking at the pics). I don’t know what the black marks are.
The laquer run was some water after I had washed it. I checked again just in case !Yes I wasn't impressed and they couldn't fully explain the colour change. I could probably have taken it higher and pursued over time with a better outcome, if I was keeping it.
You're correct I posted elsewhere regards an upgrade to the X7, I'll give the country a bit of time to get out of lockdown/back on it's feet before taking another step.

I just rembered as I saw this thread pop up again - the wings on F15s and I presume F85s are made of plastic, black plastic:

Not sure if that adds anything to the thread though!
BMW did state as the wing is plastic, it flexes, this means the paint cracks hence this may cause the discolouring due to the basecoat cracking, where as with metal it takes a chip because it won't flex. Could be completely BS and like I say would've have pushed further if I was keeping the car.https://www.partbusters.co.uk/bmw-x5-f15-2014-on-w...
