On my previous series M, the bonnet to wing and boot to wing alignments were terrible, but were resolved by the dealer to my satisfaction after returning the car once. I'm surprised your dealer was not able to resolve your issue.

Why can this not be fixed?

My 30i left side skirt is bad aligned (~3mm). This can be fixed easily.

To literally stay on topic......I once ran into a "poor Finnish" gentlemen at a bar in Hoboken, but I did not have any Z's 4 him. I was out of Z's, but made up for it by giving him 2 A's. He later dropped one on the floor during a scuffle over a bev nap with a hookers phone number on it, and then stumbled out with one A.

Thinking it was a key, he tried to unlock his car with the A, by trying to put the A in what he thought was the corresponding A Hole in his car door, but had no luck.

If anyone in intersted in starting up a fund for Zs (or any other letter) for the poor Finnish, let me know.

1 please send us pictures.
2 it's a big work to put a bonnet like that (for sizes and shapes) in a car respecting every gap...
3 sometimes it happens .this time happened to your car.
4 if your dealer is not able to fix this problem , change dealer.
5 if you are a troll ,then I wasted enough time.

Garage List
Is it the back edge behind the headlamp where bumper meets bonnet (hood) or around the front edge in front of the roundel?
