I agree with you that a $40k+ car should have a decent paint job, and I believe you should get fair recompense if it doesn't. But we differ in what "fair" recompense is - replacement of the car, when the defect is cosmetic and does not affect the handling, performance or safety of the car, is not (in my opinion) "fair recompense"; Mud-guards, which don't completely cover the discolouration/spots, are not (in your opinion) "fair recompense" either. Somewhere in the middle is probably more realistic. I'll put it down as "I agree to disagree with you" and wish you all the best in securing a fair & reasonable compensation from BMW. Good luck!
