BMW paint is not done very well. Most BMW paint jobs from the factory are lower quality than a Ford Focus or a Chevy Malibu. The orange peel on many BMWs, particularly those from Europe is such that MACCO would probably do a better job.

I'm not sure why BMW paint is done so poorly, but I suspect it has to do with BMW wanting to be on the forward edge of the Green movement, and using more water-based and other Green technologies.
