It you just bought the 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe and now are eagerly awaiting delivery, this news would be a bit shocking. For someday you might find in your inbox an agreement informing the customer just how fragile M3 Coupe’s matte paint finish is. The agreement also mentions that the paint is not covered in the warranty. I am sure it would take some of the glow off.
Probably the customers on receipt of the agreement would have anticipated instructions reading, “Please do not rub hard while scavenging the frozen paint. Use BMW approved products for maintaining the frozen paint. You can find one such approved product at your local dealer.” I am sure as a customer you must have also expected the same.
While reading the agreement perhaps you would have probably realized that the special matte finish wasn’t going to be something one could run through at some big dishwasher-like box at your local mini-mart or the gas station.
Whatever be the case, you would be shocked to find that you are out of luck because you will not get your car delivered to you until you agree with the terms and sign the agreement explaining the fragility of the finish. In addition, there is absolute unlikelihood of getting the issue appropriately fixed anywhere else other than a BMW trained body shop. Well you need not worry if, on the other hand, you’re the kind of a person who just would ring up BMW and throw or cast away $77,600 for a special-edition M3.
