Thats a good point, cause I checked hundreds of cars recently, and this issue appears with the bmw-VW-Audi-porsche brands so it must be a serial problem, probably they are using the same part (i have seen 4 3 series bmws 2 golf Rs and 3 audis like this in a single large car park, and no other brands).

BTW, I used a sandpaper to sand of the outside corner and then went for some hard braking, and it improved visibly.

...except that BMW have no links with VW-Audi-Porsche.......other than being based in the same country 😉

I have to say all my other BMW’s suffered from the above... the only one that has not is my 640d the discs and rotors are in fantastic condition condition. My neighbours 3 year old 420d basically look like they belong in a breakers yard .However he takes his to the local car wash people, as do most. I too started to look at other cars around trying to work out why my previous BMW looked so bad.
