I have to ask...if it was the dealer south of the city, they offered me the same PPF option (outsourced) and it was priced like 20% higher than the 2 best local shops for less coverage. I declined but it seemed like they just started offering that in August or so.

The dealer matched the price of the local shop so I got a pretty fair deal…at first ha.

in the Pcar world, the dealer would get it sorted, and would cover getting the ppf redone, too.
it definitely was an issue with the paint booth on that one. QC must have called in sick. |

My friend ordered a Boxster Spyder. Goes to pick it up at PECLA, and there's plainly visible paint defects in the base color. Basically paint splatters in a different color than the paint. No one told him until after they pulled off the cloth when he picked it up. It got through Porsche Germany and stateside inspections. They're not producing the car anymore so he's in a weird back and forth with them on making it right. If he gets the car repainted, even via Porsche, it can't be a CPO car if he ever choses to sell it.

Secondly you should call BMW NA once fixed. Tell them about the issue and how long the car was in the shop getting fixed. They will put in a case issue for it and essentially decide how to compensate you. My X5 was at the dealer for 2 months waiting for a part (warranty thing). They issued me a check for 1 of my car payments. Hope that helps. |

Wanted to give you all an update on this issue. My dealer has a collision center as well and got the car in last Monday and had the car back to me by Friday. They will call the PPF installer in a month as the paint needs to cure for 30 days before putting the wrap back on. Overall, I am happy with the work they did and it looks great now.

True. The compound angles are a bitch. I am stripping off my PPF. Fuck PPF.

Something like XPEL is especially hard to get right on the bumper angles. It doesn't play well. Try a better quality film like STEK, UPPF, SunTek (don't have much experience with Kavaca but I doubt it's worse than XPEL).

That is disgusting, the PPF people should not have installed the PPF unless the paint finish was correct. The dealer should not have accepted the vehicle from the PPF people like that. I hope they did not pay him for the PPF as it will need to be removed for the paint to be reapplied. To me they are both at fault. I wouldn't worry about the dealer as he has not looked after you at this stage. Good luck with it all. At least the paitwork BMW will cover under warranty which the dealer should have done before you picked it up.
