The dealer service records don't have any mention of the recall, so I don't think the bottom end has been touched since it left Germany. |

At some point I might shell out the bucks for XPel or whatever, but the multitude of rock chips on the front end are kind of turning me off to that idea at the moment. Dr. Colorchip is an option, I guess, and would cost way less than a proper respray. For now, as long as there's no rust... |

For a once every 5-10 years, it's probably not much of a problem.

And so it begins...gonna let the oil drain over night. I really don't have the time to tackle this at all this week, besides an hour or so each night, and I'll be out of town all next week. I hope my baller Esco jackstands are up to the task.

Based on the paint meter readings that I've seen, a serious paint correction is something that you can't do more than twice.
