Good info. Which mag is it from? Just curious, I'd like to pick it up. MB has been using ceramic paint for awhile, I know they started using it on all cars in 2008 (C paint code), of course it's easy to tell when working on them too! Hah.
I still haven't run into a 3 or 5 series with ceramic paint. I've worked on over a hundred and so far the toughest one (in terms of paint) has been mine (yay!), but it isn't ceramic. Most of them are pretty weak. It'll be nice to start seeing ceramic BMWs, it'll definitely be an improvement!
If there are some out there it would definitely explain why detailers have such a tough time pinning down BMW paint. Just look at this thread:
