The only VIN sticker is on the driver's door jam. All other doors are absent of the VIN stickers. I'm almost certain that none of my doors have been replaced or resprayed (unless of course, it was done at the VPC - BMW's Vehicle Preparation Center) since I picked my X up 2 days after it arrived at the dealer. The paint coming off the edges of the hood seems like a BMW problem since mine have it as well, so it may not be a sign of respray on your X.
