I am posting this to get any info about any paint problems people may have had.
My06 525i I have had for 2 weeks has paint problems.
The paint is chipping and I have found many whitish spots on the paint. The dealer has seen it and I have an appointment with a paint specialist on tuesday.
I have contacted BMW NA and they want me to let the dealer figure it out.
I have heard of many people having similar problems with paint.
Please reply with your info if you can help.
Thanks, Billysunshine

I had huge problems with the paint on my aero kit. To the point that the paint shop at my dealership had to completely remove the kit and buff it. It was all in the clear coat application at the NJ VPC. Looked to the paint shop mgr like they painted it outside.

My Ride: silver-gray 525i w/ nav, pdc, xenon, and comfort access
I have had the exact same problem with my old infiniti. The paint starteded to chip very easily. then it started to crack and basically peeled off. The dealer told me it was my fault and that I proabably hit a high speed bump. They refused to do anything so I contacted the BBB and filed a complaint against Nissan. A little eunder a month later a representative from Nissan called and offered to have all damages repaired. I gave them a quote from the bodyshop and in a few weeks I received a check for the full amount.

And no these are not paint chips and I highly doubt I or anyone else was able to create this kind of damage... theres no dent or anything the panal and body parts are perfect but just this missing paint hole... it almost seems like there was an air bubble under the paint and it like "popped"

Ya I'm that anal. I notice stuff, Paint is not suppose to just chip off like that. Do I take action on everything I say? Probably not and have I taken it up with BMW nor the dealer or anyhting, NO. I've simply made an observation and noticed others describing something similiar so I posted what I thought and what I've seen on my car.

it looks like someone opened the hood with the wiper arm up
I thought about that... I tried... its not in the same positon. the chip is further to the edge. Wiper arm is more towards the center.
Now how do you explain the one on the rear passenger door?

thats weird I have a little bigger one on my passanger side its right where the hood ends right? by the windshield?
I believe so... its pretty close to the edge... not at the edge. Think yours is the wiper arm?
