New car and already scratched1

[almostgotmybimmer]

I just got my new 330xi jet black 6 speed 3 weeks ago. Love it.
Yesterday I noticed a small scratch on the back. Seems its through the paint. Probably a stone hit it. Anyone with suggestions what to do.

Sorry to hear, have you done anything such as a clear bra to protect the front end?

I have a black 330i. Every little scratch and chip shows up. In my opinion, the only thing you can do is get used to them. Trust me, it gets easier.

Do you also put clear plastic on your couches?

Like Black said, "Get used to it". A day after I picked up my 330i someone splashed some black-industrial grease on it, I have a feeling it was a dump trunk that passed me as I got off the exit. ( a hairline, and a finger glob) I got the hairline off the door but the finger glob came out only it left about 3-4 short lengthed horizontal scratches in the paint, (lighlty) good thing is they can only be seen close up if you look for them. It's nothing a little buffer can't take care of anyway. Should I have gone home and cried? Obviously not, scratches are just something that happens when u pass those damn trucks at high speeds. Thank BMW's ultra-sensitive paint.

3M rubbing compound. I've had mine for a month and it has a ding in the passenger side rear 1/4, a few small cuts in the rear bumper, and a large through-the-paint-and-into-the-primer 7 inch scratch in the hood near the passenger 1/4 panel. The only thing I plan to do is toothpick some touch up into the scratch on the hood and live with the rest.
