    Just a question I wanna run by you guys and see wat you think..

    A few days ago i had some nasty bird s**t on me roof. FINALLY managed to get the damn thing off... it had bloody welded itself to the roof it seemed but got it off eventually. The paint on the roof is now damaged tho, i took it to a local bodyshop (Not BMW one), and they said to me it looked as if the bird s**t had "burned" the paint on the roof, should this be covered by warranty at all.. i would f*kin hope so cos im well pee'd off...

    He said they could repspray the whole roof for £150 which is fair enuff, but they cant jus repair the wee bit thats damaged cos it will stick out like a sore thumb.

    Anybody have any ideas ?? ill be calling my dealership tomorrow, or should i go straight to bmw customer services??

    cheers for any feedback

    Well perhaps Customer Services could "de-cloak" and answer that on this forum?!

    bird **** is acidic right? plus coupled with that it contains grit. So its a nasty combination. Isnt their an anti corrosion guarantee or something on the body work?
