Just bought car...paint issues

=edited=

I bought my 335i but requested the passenger door to be repainted due to a small, deep scratch (mistake!) They did not blend and I could see a slight difference under the sun so I requested repaint again with blending. Picked up the next week and now its a 99% match.

Wouldn't that be your only option, to repaint it? Ask them what color code they're using to paint match it and make sure it's the color code for BSM. Metallic will always be hard to replicate though.

metallics will never be just right...

repaint is only option

When you pick it up again, take it out in the sun and check it right then and there.
