OK. What I'm reading between the lines is that we both have to really stop
this! It's funny, because the things that I and everyone else can see and
understand, I don't think are a big deal. It's the things that drive me crazy
that drive me crazy. Anyway, thanks for the response. BMW may be the Ultimate
Driving Machine, but nothing is perfect... Now if I can just find that OCD
message board...

  I have a couple of "those" on my 2002 330i also.  I have actually taken the
next step though, I mentioned them to my wife and she looked at me like I am
nuts, shook her head and walked away.  I think that they are slight
indentations in the sheetmetal, but only I can see them or care about them so
I just don't say anything, I suffer in silence.  Maybe we could start a
therapy session where we sit around and commiserate with each other about our
sheetmetal depression(s). ;-)

  Hi everyone. I was recently waxing my 2003 325i and noticed a couple of
small
  "ripples" on the surface of the hood along the line that runs vertically
down
  the hood (drivers side) that can only really be seen from certain angles
and
  light. I at first thought they were small indentations or what have you in
the
  metal until I opened the hood and inspected the other side and did not
notice
  the same (although I'm not 100% certain). I'm wondering now if perhaps it's
  some kind of effect of the painting process. I'm not saying it's a problem
  necessarily because it's so minor I'm even afraid to point it out to anyone
  else for fear of being laughed at, I'm really just curious what you all
think.
  Is this a common phenomenon? Thanks in advance for any comments.
