Dirt on back of car

Is it my imagination or is the 2 series really bad at collecting dirt at the back of the car. This was after a light rain.

this is not unique to the 2 series. almost all vehicles are like that because dirt and dust are channeled by the wind to the rear as you ride. the rain just made it look worse because it got wet/muddy.

Don't remember my 128 doing this this bad but we are talking a red car vs a white car. Oh, well I'll be able to wash it Monday, seven days will have passed since I had it opti coated

if you don't mind, how much did it cost you to have it opticoated?
