Upon arrival, we laid our eyes onto this brand new BMW F30 Diesel that drove all the way from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur for us to work on his car. As usual, we would never expect the car to be in good shape since most BMWs go through a rather horrible PDI. Let's get started.

From a distance, the car looked rather glossy. But then again looks can always be deceiving.

It was raining quite abit for the past few days before the car came to us.

On the paint, there are traces of dried up rain water as well.

The usual road grime and splatter from the rain.

For a brand new car with less than 500KM clocked, the fuel area was rather dirty.

Moving on to the paint inspection. Shocked to see that its heavy on swirls for a new car.

Besides swirls, as we expected, the car had been polish, hence the hologram marks.

You might also notice changes in the colour and gloss enhancement after the paint correction stage.

After traveling more than 300KM to reach Kuala Lumpur, the wheels would definitely be looking dirty and covered in brake dust.

Lug nut areas were covered in brake dust as well.
