Oh ****!! Damn dude thats terrible I feel your pain.. glad the plastidip worked out at least. Masking tape has always been good to me.

 

I guess I'm going to get with my local body shop and have it painted. I had my fingers crossed that 3M had a warranty in place that would cover it, but it doesn't look like that's the case:

Unless an additional warranty is specifically stated on the applicable 3M product packaging or product
literature, 3M warrants that each 3M product meets the applicable 3M product specification at the time
3M ships the product. 3M MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OR CONDITION ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE.
If the 3M product does not conform to this warranty, then the sole and exclusive remedy is, at 3M’s
option, replacement of the 3M product or refund of the purchase price.
Except where prohibited by law, 3M will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the 3M product,
whether direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, regardless of the legal theory asserted,

Might as well look at the bright side

 

What was involved in replacing/repairing the steering wheel bezel? Specifically was it hard to remove?

 

Never mind I found a good thread on how to do it, but thanks

 

What the ... is white the factory color? That just seems way too easy to come off.
I have taped a few times to polish and ... never that.

 

Cleaned up the nasty curbed wheels this weekend:

 

Love the paper work

 

Advantages of being with a teacher

 

I simply can't believe that the factory paint job did that. Is there any evidence that the fender had been repainted at some point?

 

I reviewed the paint job with my auto painter and we couldn't find any signs of it being repainted. seems to be factory paint

 

I don't know if I'm becoming blinded by love, but I feel that this 07 sedan is close to par with this E92 M3. Makes me feel nice knowing that I paid less than 25%(12k vs 50k+) of what he did.

 

Yeah you're blinded
Good value yes. Close to par? no shot lolll

 

lol. now I'm basing "close to par" purely on aesthetics, and yeah....I think I'm blinded

 

ha aesthetics are a personal call lol. But side profile the Ms got us beat..and from the front as well imo. We got the cooler tailights at night though lol

 

Am I the only one who doesn't really think the e92 body really all that sexy?
