Paint defect?
I just realized that near edge of my front bumper, where the bumper meets the body, there seems to be like a line in the paint. It seems like the orange peel is in a different formation and forming a line. When I run my finger over it, it just feels smooth. Both sides of the front bumper has it. Both sides have the line formation in a different angle.
I just took some pictures, but you can't see it in the picture. Sometimes I also see this on the side underbody spoiler. Sometimes it's there and other times it's not. Is this a paint defect? My car is very dirty from the snow.

Every car has some blemishes in the paint. Unless it's really noticable I wouldn't worry too much.

Will they repaint the whole bumper or have one that's already painted at the factory shipped from Germany?

I went with bimmerwannerbie yesterday to pick up his E90 and I took a look at some of the E90s that was on the lot and showroom and they all have this. I guess it's normal than.
