Roof blemish / laquer issue

[bryce]

Alright lads. No been on here in too long - no idea how Im gonna catch up on all the posts! Hope everyones well and still enjoying their motors. Iv been too busy to drive, so only done 1000 miles since may 09

Anyway, Ive a little issue with my roof... Seems to be a problem with the laquer. It feels a little rough and is about the area of a 20p piece. Its above the rear quater window, around the centre of it. Hard to capture in a photo (will try harder at weekend with SLR - camera not merc!). Baz has something similar on his in similar position so thinking its a manufacturing fault rather as mine/ previous owners / seagulls...

Had BMW area manager technician look at it (quite literally glance) last year and he got back saying it wasnt covered under warranty. After a few words with BMW customer services, the manager eventually phoned back saying it had been deemed a water mark which is a 'cosmetic' issue, therefore not covered under warranty. Ive an independant coming for a look, so will see what he says.

In the meantime, have a look yourself. Any info/ experience would be much appreciated.
