I have to look at my 135i. But I know inside around my trunk(around the gasket and under the rear windshield)... the paint is "dull" like in your photos. I think also my inner fenders look like yours. I think BMW just doesn't use must paint in the parts of the car we don't see(that much). I also know under my hood and fenders in the engine compartment are also dull. My first thought was the BMW bean counters got the better of the company purse strings. The old BMW would have never done stuff like that! And to think they call themselves "premium" cars.

I'd say this is normal. But I need to take a closer look at mine first.
