I just realized that near edge of my front bumper, where the bumper meets the body, there seems to be like a line in the paint. It seems like the orange peel is in a different formation and forming a line. When I run my finger over it, it just feels smooth. Both sides of the front bumper has it. Both sides have the line formation in a different angle.
I just took some pictures, but you can't see it in the picture.

Sometimes I also see this on the side underbody spoiler. Sometimes it's there and other times it's not.

Is this a paint defect? My car is very dirty from the snow.

take it to the dealer. got to show it to the service advisor, then he'll get the tech guy out to make sure its manufacture defect. then they will fix it. it happen to me and they fixed it.

Every car has some blemishes in the paint. Unless it's really noticable I wouldn't worry too much.

Will they repaint the whole bumper or have one that's already painted at the factory shipped from Germany?

they sent me to a body shop they use. all they did was color sand and buffed it out.

I went with bimmerwannerbie yesterday to pick up his E90 and I took a look at some of the E90s that was on the lot and showroom and they all have this. I guess it's normal than.
