VO 1M door jamb under sprayed?
Has anyone else with a VO 1M encountered an area in the door jambs on both a-pillars not sprayed/undersprayed? This section appears to be part of the front guard where it attaches to main body.
Will try and post pics and would love to hear feedback before I bring it up with the dealership.

Typical of BMW these days. Have a look at at the finish on an E46 to show where they have skimped. If they keep going down this road they'll end up where Mercedes was in the late 90s early 2000s when they ( Merc' ) slipped in the J D Power surveys from their perennial top spot to be replaced by Lexus. Almost unbelievably Jaguar, of all car makers, has topped the list this year having bumped Lexus. Beautiful interiors in the latest Jags.
New F type looks very nice. Coming in a coupe as well. |

Take it up with BMWNA, I would be careful about what your local dealership might try to do to fix it.

-1. I don't think BMWNA will do a thing for us. AG might.

"they don't make 'em like they used to"
Alvin, I'd get that checked out. Obviously just tell them to spot repair it rather than spraying the entire guard for no reason. |

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

I had a look at mine today and even though mine is not a 1M, mine looks exactly like the OP's picture. Never noticed it before and I will bring it to the dealers attention. Very poor for a premium priced car. Also, it's exactly the same on both sides. Someone probably made a program change to the robot painting system. Interested to see if others chime in with same issue and if this is only on certain month / year cars. Mine was made in March of this year. It's not a big issue and I'm sure the dealer will sort it out quickly but now that I know about it, the OCD in me can't let it go.

Just to be clear, he's not inquiring about the lack of shine/clear coat in the jams, he's inquiring about the part in the picture that seems to show a lack of VO, revealing the white primer underneath.
Very weird. Never noticed that on any BMW before, and I oddly look at that sort of stuff.

Remember the one series is the economy model.

Mine look just like that, I've got a 135i. I went to the dealership and checked out 2 other black ones an they looked the same. This was before the 1M was even out.
Suck, Sticks out worse on jet black...
