I've had my '06 M45 for two months now. I keep seeing little (ball point pen tip size) spots on the chrome edge (both sides) that goes from the hood and up over the doors to the trunk. They are almost a rust type color. It takes alot to try to rub them out..... if they'll come out.

Anyone else seen this? I noticed this after the first couple days. Is there a particular product that I should use? Didn't know if this was a problem I should take up with the dealer or not.

My car is parked in the open at work (not under trees or anything but sky) and is parked in a garage at home.

Hmmm...

Do they come off?

If so, and there's nothing on the paint, then that sounds like corrosion (but shouldn't be).

I'd run it past the dealer...

Weird. Never heard of this ... yes, definitely ask the dealer about it!
