Hi all,

Curious if anyone has seen anything like this. They're in a few spots on my 2024 M240i xdrive. Sorry the picture is a bit hard to see. I tried rubbing it with a clay bar, some mild degreaser and rubbing hard with a microfiber cloth, and nothing works. When I pick at it with my fingernail it glides right over top, which makes me think it's under the clear coat, but I'm not an expert. It's on a few other spots on the car, but just one or two specks at a time. This is under the driver side mirror and there's a lot of them. Car is garage kept, at home and at work. I do not think it is any drippings from a tree.

The color of the car is brooklyn grey, and the specks seem to be a darker, more concentrated brooklyn grey, which led me to believe the paint splattered somehow. I don't know if it's even possible for that to happen, but I'm out of ideas and I'm still waiting on a response from the dealer.

Any ideas? If it is under the clear coat, do you think I could get BMW to do anything to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!

Take it to a good paint guy. They can do some pretty amazing things.

I was hoping if it IS under clear coat it would be something BMW would fix under warranty, but that might be like pulling teeth….

I’ll start checking out some paint shops. Thanks!

Do have a DA polisher? If so, see if you can pick up some of this below. It was recommended by a detail shop near me. I had a lot of swirls, fine scratches and blemishes on the paint. This stuff (left) with a medium cutting pad worked miracles after about 20 min.
