Took about a dozen pics and verified no hardware changes, such as wider tires, wheels and spacers. I did not. They stated that this was not a defect but a design flaw. He made this point several times and offered to "goodwill and respray the fender flares and the rockers on both side. Now the issue appears to be the time it will take to remove, respray and apply the film. Could take as much as a month and dealer is giving some push-back on a loaner. That said, I'm just glad it's being taken care of. I would have rather been offered new rockers and fender flares.
Can you share some pictures please? Am interested to see how bad it has to get before BMW jumps in and helps out.
