Well what can I say!!! poor BMW build quality or what?
I was drying the door sills and noticed a hint of a rust bubble around the door plate.
Pulled back the black plastic cover to reveal the true horror.
Car has never had any paint , and given that its on both sides it appears to be a bmw weakness . A quick BM3W forum check reveals others have seen the same problem.
Luckily BMW have agreed to fix it , as they should on a car thats only 3 years old!
So , I think its almost time to put the car in and get the door dent / lower sill / and front end blow over.
Slightly concerned about having paint done at all , matching,quality etc but it needs done.
On a lighter note , the 3rd pic is the 41k milestone
Seriously considering a downgrade to save money but M3 values have dropped so much its painful :-(
Cars I have considered which would all be 05 or newer
Ford Focus ST
Renault Megane R26
Golf GTI
All around 15k , with Golf above that if you want DSG etc , 2 others are MUCH cheaper , but of course lower quality.
, whats also nice is a Mk4 Golf R32 03 plate , 15k too for a 3dr black 30kmiles ish mmmm nice.
currently getting around 24.5 MPG general commuting !
enjoy
