I did Euro delivery in Feb. The car was perfect when I returned it in Munich. Somewhere during redelivery the front fascia got nicked up. Not too bad, but something that I wished didn't happen. My sales guy said they would sand it smooth and touch it up. You think this will look OK after its fixed? See the following pic of the damage and the other mark (right side in similar location) is less pronounced so I didn't bother taking a pic of it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

A good paint shop can sand, smooth, spray paint, and clear coat so that you can't tell. The clear coat addition may "show" around the edges in a few years, but you can aways repeat the process if you want. My paint shop does this sort of thing for about $100. Taking this approach is a much better idea, IMO, than repainting the whole facia with or without removing it.

Yup, shouldn't be difficult at all to *hide*. A good paint shop can definitely do whatever is necessary to take care of this. Glad to hear that your dealer is willing to take care of this.

Good Luck,
