This is a freakin JOKE

Today I went to the dealership and picked up my reflectors for the rear of my car to replace the cheap ass black plastic inserts my 5er came with. As I was in the dealership I looked out the window and noticed something funny about the way my car looked, so I asked the sales rep to look and see if he noticed anything funny. He says,"yeah, your rear door is the WRONG COLOR!!!!." I have the silver grey metallic paint and due to the weather recently there has not been much sun so I never noticed this before. The door I had repaired from the asshole who slammed it with his/her car door was painted a different shade of grey than the rest of my car. This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!50,000 DOLLAR CAR WITH MISMATCHED PAINT Now I am PISSED. Now that I have seen it....I cannot "un-see" it.

Man that sucks!! I would take it back and raise hell to get it repainted. Did they do a computerized color match?

When I had my Euro license plate holder painted for a bargain at $35, the shop INSISTED that I bring the car in so they could test the color of the existing paint with a computerized system to guarantee the color match. I was impressed that they took that much concern for a license plate holder! They told me that BMW Titanium silver color actually varies a bit out of the factory so doing a good match is critical. It sounds like that also applies to the silver gray.

Well I just got my car out of the shop and I havent noticed any difference in the color. But after reading this I think I will go outside and check again before it gets dark!
Oh yeah and they took one of my red color valve stem tops with them when they replaced my rim.......sheisse!!! I guess I gotta buy another whole set...oh well only 10euros or something like that.

Well I took the car back on wednesday morning and that afternoon I already had it back. The paint is (from what I can see) matched again. Just hope the jackass doesn't come and ask me for more $$$$$

dude, how did you not see it the first time... my picky ass would be eagle eye all over that shit. crazy.

i let a chick drive my car one night on a cruise down to gulf shores and she saw the car infront swerve but decided to drive right over the fully intact road gator! WTF!
i hammered that huge dent right out and the shop painted this piss yellow white. they said when you get a color code, such that bmw provides, you still have to match it to the car based on aging.... uhg. made them redo it in a second.

Quite odd actually, when it was cloudy (which it is ALL THE TIME HERE) I couldn't see it. Even standing to the side of it on a sunny day it wasn't obvious. It took a SUPer sunny day standing at an angle from the car to see it. After that I could not "un-see" it.
