Personally, i think it looks pretty bad when you pop the hood and your engine bay/inside of hood is a different color from the car, some (or most) would think your car was originally black.

BMW uses different colors of primer depending on the final color. So I am willing to bet under the under-hood color is actually the primer coat. They use a white or light color primer for the lighter colors, red primer for MB, and black for their blues and black. I really don't care what color is underneath my hood since the hood is closed 99.9% of the time and I don't think it looks bad anyway. BTW people are use to seeing black insulation under a hood so I don't expect anyone is going to accuse me of having my brand new car repainted anytime soon.

Hrmm, I'm really sorry to hear that. If there is something I can do to make right on a previous mistake, do let me know as we don't leave customers high and dry.

Yeah, but shipping returns to Canada (Bimmina) is a royal pain. Ask me how I know.
