Funny encounter with an F430 last tuesday.
Shortish thread, but informative none the less. So I was giving my car tinters car a once over when my car was finished tinting (He was even nice enough to let me sit in it while he explained the car)
and lo and behold, when I was checking out his tubi exhaust - there it was, plain as day - his car had ORANGE PEEL !!! Maybe not BMW exclusive?

That's what I'm getting at. I don't have a problem with it, but it seems people rag on BMW's build quality ad nauseum about it.
As I've said once before, if this fucking forum didn't exist I wouldn't notice I had orange peel, rattles, notchy 1-2 shifts, non-perfect bumpers, pre-delivery swirls, noisy flywheel ...

Next time you get a chance, check out the finish on a Bentley. One of the few factory paint jobs without orange peel.

99% of cars have orange peel. Alot of companys dont care about making the clear PERFECT for like 80 extra hours to make it reflect like a mirror... and i wouldnt care if i had a f430 anyways! Its about performanceee

Yeah, long story short he had an (ongoing) run in with cancer and said F it. Very good bloke and I commend his attitudes towards life.
