Bought this car from a one-owner, w/ ALL the original paint/panels on the car.
I knew it was original paint b/c it had the infamous paint checking evenly distributed throughout the entire car. Had no prior bondo/repair work either from close examination on the rear valence like many E30s do.
So the question remains, was this a fingerprint screw up from the factory? The undercoating looks factory to me. I recently had the car resprayed, but this was there prior to it. It's not a smear in the paint, but in the undercoating. I'm thinking someone at the BMW factory tested the area w/ their finger before the coating was fully dry....but who knows
