Here is the driver's side vs the passenger side...my car is mineral white but they obviously used an alpine white roof rail. It's going in next week to have the part replaced.

That didn't happen at the factory, that for sure happened at the dealership, probably got a light scuff during transport or at the dealership and they repainted it the wrong color or shade

There was someone else who got mismatched interior trims from the factory. So I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think BMW gives that much of an importance for quality control or whatever it's called since I've read other threads in other subsections (G02/F30 etc etc) where people have got mismatched exterior and interior trims from the factory apparently.

Absolutely did not. I unwrapped every piece of the car at the dealership. I was even there for the unloading. Factory QA issue 100%.

Exactly. How the hell does mismatched interior panels (open pore wood and aluminum???) get missed by their quality control is beyond me.

I think it worse than being missed by QC. I think it was missed/ignored by a few sets of eyes. You have to think that the interior trim parts are picked as a group in a kit for a particular build so someone put that kit together wrong. Then someone has to install it in the car and that person overlooked the mismatch. (I don’t think the same person picks the parts kits also installs them but I’m guessing.) Then finally, the QC person missed it.

Sad that this happens on a premier brand, even if it is in “just a 3er”.
