    Scratches behind driver seat!! Help!

    Accidentally had back seat cargo shift and scratched a few dings/indents in the back of the my driver seat. Looks like the material is leather of some sort, not plastic. How can I have this fixed??! Any ideas?

    Rear passenger inner door frame scratches.

    Does anyone happen to have these scratches on the inside of the rear door frames about 20cm above the latch? I've took it in to the service center twice to have it fixed but all they've done is just touch it up. Now I'm told it's not a warranty item because the demo cars have the same scratches...

    Quality Questions / Concerns

    Always outdoors, Bay Area care recommendations?

    Hi all, I'm a recent M3 owner and have probably one of the worst combos of all time: I'm OCD about paint quality, but I don't have a garage. The car is always outdoors, 50/50 out in the sun, and almost always near pollen. I'm still eager to keep the car in as top shape as I can so I'm curious...
