£1250 for a stone chip!!

Watch out for those stone chips.

My car is in with BMW having a 1mm stone chip addressed on the rear quarter.
BMW said they have to spray the whole rear quarter due to the special paint primer they apply from factory.

Fortunately I'm am not paying as I picked it up when I collected the car.
Unfortunately I'm without the car for two days.

Ouch. Luckily I'm unbothered by stone chips, so long as they aren't their on delivery I consider them as adding character.
