Question on '18 M3 Competition PPI result: Clamp Marks

ovrwrkd · 05-21-2023, 01:31 PM

Hey All,
I'm looking at getting myself into an F80 and had a PPI performed on a '18 comp package one last week. It has an accident on record, but I have the damage/repair document from the body shop that did the work and am not concerned as it's mostly a cosmetic repair, no structural parts. During the PPI they lifted the weather stripping and all four door jambs where the panels meet have clamp marks, but body shop report does not show anything that would require that kind of pull. Question for the group is, if you lifted your weather stripping are these marks present from factory? Appreciate any help that can be passed my way. Willing to venmo someone a couple bucks for their time to peel back their stripping and take a look, preferably another '18 model year F80. Just shoot me a direct message.
