No, but odd question. Why? Not a ton of problems with BMW Mexico paint besides some of the frozen stuff I read about.

Believe BMW uses BASF paint.

And specifically Glasurit paint.

Some few years ago Porsche added Glasurit paint to its Spies Hecker and Standox (both made by Dupont) paints.

What problems with frozen stuff have you read about?

Read one post about a few water marks embedded into paint. Another about a bubble here and there. I can try and link them later. Only 2 so that’s probably normal.

In a bit of a conundrum with the paint but still figuring it out.

Yes. It is the same paint and paint quality as every other BMW barring some localized issue with the equipment or process. BMW used to use Sikkens and may now use BASF.
