The pics look like the result of scrapping ice off the glass....

What about this then?

The trim around the mirrors and windows started to peel/rust when the car was 4 years old. BMW rust warranty doesn't cover these "mounted parts".

Besides that, the car is simply amazing.

mines an 2004 and I don't have anything like that happening yet
+1 but then it does spend 23 hours a day (all year) in the garage (and did with the previous owner too).

It all depends on how well the owner takes care of the car. Use abrasive cleaners to clean the car and you'll get peeling. Dont use wax or trim protectant for cars under the sun a lot you'll get UV damage. A little effort twice a year just to apply some protectant will go a long way.

Questioning German quality, try taking a Japanese car out on the track for a day and try taking a German car on the same track for a day you'll be able to feel that the Japanese car (minus the GT-R and sports dedicated cars) comes back all loose and sloppy.

And here I was thinking that the guy before me had replaced the front and back windows.
