I returned home from a 30 minute drive and washed the car right away. Primarily because I ran through a puddle. Noticed the bird poop during the wash and after the car was dried, there was still a small stain.

Oh HELL no!
1. They committed fraud when they sold you $5000 paint protection. That's actually felony fraud in most states. Matte paint cannot accept "paint protection" and of course it was never applied. Refunding the entire amount should be settlement for you to avoid talking to the police and district attorney. 2. Your insurance adjuster should not even know about this. This is between you and the dealer. They need to get this painted on their dime (if they can find a place that will do it) and hopefully it will not require the whole car to be repainted. 3. There should not be any depreciation on the car, because it should be fixed without going through insurance, meaning that it had BETTER NOT show up on Carfax. 4. Get matte finish Xpel on the front end ASAP. In the future, if you have bird droppings, power wash it off, never rub it. 5. I'm so pissed right now that BMW dealers have become this way. Mine has also in the past few years, but I've spoken to BMW a couple of times about them and they do seem to respond a little better to me these days. I've bought A LOT of cars from them, but have moved mostly to Porsche and MB, sadly. I am enjoying my GTS.

All GTS have cf hoods that are hand painted. The car leaves Munich with a regular M4 hood and the GTS hood along with the other GTS parts gets installed in Garching. I took these pics while I was in Munich and on my way to the M Studio for a private tour. I asked a bunch of questions including how the M4 gets build (transformed) into a GTS.

I would've thought they were all hand-built examples with hand-matched internals from the beginning the way some people talk?

Why would they handbuild It from scratch? Come on, its a M4 base car thats handbuilt(put together) the last 10-20% or somthing. Like mentioned that last thing is done at garching. Its like Porsche, they take the base cars and aswell turn It to GT3/4 cars etc. Can you Imagine what a car like this would cost If It was 100% Build by hand? Haha, I could never bought It If so

I would put the stealth xpel on it and call it a day. when you sell or trade it, just leave the xpel on. It will never be seen.

It's not worth the $ to hire an attorney...but I will do my best to prevent others from going thru the same ordeal. It really urks me that businesses can get away from shady practices and not be held accountable for them.
