Thanks for the update! I knew I was right! 😃

Glad it worked out in the end. This is a classic case of jumping to conclusions and it worked out in the end! Very happy for you, friend!

I parked my car in the service line and went inside to check in. At first I was a bit nervous talking to the service member because when I told him the paint was peeling on the hood of my new car he didn't even sound surprised. Then I repeated to him that the car was new and I just picked it up about 3 weeks ago, so he took my key to park in the garage lights. After checking it out, he came back to me and was like, "Your right. The car is brand new with only 500 miles and it shouldn't be peeling."

So after seeing the spot he took it to the detailing department saying they will confirm if it's the clear coat. After waiting about 30-40 minutes he came back and confirmed I was in fact just an idiot.

According to the team at my dealer, Nashville and a few others were correct. Apparently it was the adhesive from the transport sticker. That stuff must really be sticky because I use my nail and finger to try and peel away. And when washing my car I used a pressure washer and a microfiber cloth to try and wipe away with no success. I don't think 30-40 minutes would be enough time to do a decent paint correction so I trust the detail guy when he said he just removed the adhesive then polished.

Happy it's not something more serious; sad that I'm just a moron.
You're not a moron. The dealer is a moron for handing over a brand new car in that condition, even if it IS just the shipping protection. Why can't people take pride in their job and other people's belongings that they've probably worked hard to buy?

Dealers miss defects. I was at the dealership yesterday getting oil service for my 2019 X3 M40i and while waiting was drooling over this beautiful M8 Competition with carbon fiber package. While walking around the car I noticed a huge chip in the carbon fiber on one of the side view mirrors. Right there in the middle of the showroom...this thing of beauty...with a huge chip.

Welp, I am afraid ours IS the clear coat. And it is an Individual Paint car.....so not a better quality job, just a specific color. Quite disappointed. Now to find a dealership in North Florida/South Georgia that can deal with Individual Purple silk.....I am not real hopeful....

Ouch, is it two different spots on your front end? This should be covered under warranty since your car is fairly new; just sucks that you have to go through that process.

Yes. Passenger side right below lower grill, driver side a bit above the lower grill. I agree it should be covered. But it is the quality of the paint work in this area I worry about.

This just goes to show that issues like this aren't always front "bad repaint work." Sometimes just bad initial quality control.

Could you take it to Spartenberg? I would think that they could match it there.

I live in North Floriduh, so that makes it nigh on impossible. Here's hoping one of the dealerships...NOT CAPITAL BMW IN TALLAHASSEE...within a couple hours has a paint shop that can do an excellent job.
