Paint Issue
Just noticed this while washing yesterday - don't see it anywhere else so that's got my hackles up. Chunks of paint are flaking off the wheel well end of the rocker panel - can't tell if this is a plastic piece that maybe had paint overspray...and maybe this is normal...but I'm gonna have to contact service I guess unless someone says this is "normal"...

I'll see if I can get a better angle/light but I zoomed in a little - if it's road tar it's an awfully thin and even layer of it...and it's nice and rich black...not a dark gray from what I would guess as tar. Got the car at 12 miles and I'm just shy of 5000 now...the summer tires are sticky and shower the car with rocks...but I wasn't expecting this.

If the paint is coming off, they will fix it (had a similar issue with a X5) but it looks like something else is on there. Sorta like tape with a textured layer.

I had the same problem with my driver side rocker panel; brought it to the dealership and had corporate determine that it was a paint defect.
They sent me to their body shop and those guys suggested that the dealership order order a new one because the primer did not adhere to the plastic correctly. Took about a week, and the dealership let me drive my car without the rocker panel so I just garaged it at home.
