They shouldn't.

Has nothing to do with the rotors.....

In fact, I don't see how they could make a case that the paint would effect even the calipers. unless you painted the guide bolts or something.

i wouldn't worry about it.

Also have this problem, after going back to the dealership for 3 days, they have replaced my front rotor

2011 E90 here. I have the same issue. Sounds like it's the rotors. If it doesn't hurt anything I don't care, but I just wanted to know what the sound was.

Hard tight cornering at low-ish speeds left or right I get ticktickticktick. It's a very light faint ticking, almost like when you're using a gas stove with the electric ignition.

I had a similar issue on my '08 when turning right. The dealer first thought it was the steering rack and when the car was in for replacement, they determined it was the spindle. The problem did not return.

Sort of scary thinking about a spindle failure at freeway or track speeds.
