Couple of questions from new owner...

Just got home after picking up a used 2013 s35i 7 spd DCT in the Phoenix area over 800 miles away. Great drive and we averaged almost 27.5 mpg; surprised the hell outa' me!

Couple of quick questions. Since this was not a CPO car and was purchased from a Benz dealer that didn't take great pains with preparing it for resale, there a few small items I must deal with myself. One of which is minor curb rash on one rim. I've done this dozens of times on my wife's Miata, so I'm pretty confident I can make it disappear, but I need the correct touch-up paint to do it properly. Has anyone done this and, if so, what paint did you use? Does BMW sell wheel touch up paint, or is there a Duplicolor paint code that works best. These are 18" #325M star wheels.

The other thing I noticed at freeway speeds is quite a shrill wind whistle coming off the left hand rear view mirror. Anyone else noticed this and is there a cure for it?

Thanks in advance for any help.
