Hello:
I was hanging in the garage during a rare day of rain in California's Central Coast. Check out the original paint on my 2003 BMW. I am the original owner and special ordered it from the factory because I didn't want a sunroof. I took delivery on Feb 2003. The car has 87,500 miles on it, so it does get driven. That said, it's never been used as a commuter, it's always garaged and often covered while in there, and it's never once been driven on a wet roadway. Not once. I even wash the entire undercarriage and suspension every year or so with a hand mitt (no pressure washer or harsh chemicals). The entire undercarriage looks factory fresh. FWIW, I do 100% of the maintenance and modifications on the car. It's never been to a service facility of any type except for a smog test or wheel alignment.
But anyway, check out the original factory paint.
All of you have a Merry Christmas!
