Stone Chips

[John24]

after cleaning my car today i noticed that i've picked up quite a large stone chip on the front . after only 4400 miles i'm not best pleased , does anybody know were i stand about getting this fixed under warrenty at my dealer .

surely the paint should'nt be suffering already .

They'll probably turn around and say its down the 'weat & tear'

sorry that you´ve stone chips..

but stone chips are no fault of the dealer or BMW,
so you will get no fix under warrenty.

Unfortunately they're right, are the chips in a place where you could touch them up and then cover that with stripes? Thats what I'm doing to get rid of a rather nasty chip a nova gave me by FLYING over a road with fresh chippings!

for example I have got 3 stone chips on the window
right behind..dont understand how I got this... :-((

Stone chips are a way of life in the U.S. I don't like them but the only way to avoid them is not to follow people so close. Here that is impossible since someone will quickly fill the gap.

You could get a 'Bra' for the front or some of that high tech plastic coating.

Good luck. You could just leave it in the garage but that would be no fun at all.

Its in Germany the same, on the highways or in town, gaps between driving cars seem to be filled as quickly as the devil could do

Just think...the MINI allows you to fit into the gaps no one else can fit in...

Better yet, just use that 6th (or 5th) gear to pass em!
