Anyone had something like this with their paint? BMW is refusing to cover.

Definitely looks like environmental damage. Not surprised they refused to cover that.

Its only been hand washed. So I am surprised they wont cover it. Some chemical coming from the turn signal assembly.
After talking to 2 other dealers, I understand historically BMW does not cover their work. They prefer to let the dealer take the hit.
