I noted the same issue with the paint on my 2011 BMW 135i when it was new. My trusted sales advisor agreed, but did not really have any suggestions. I understand from other owners that the orange peel effect is due to the clear coat layer having been dried too quickly, something BMW does to move its cars through the finish process as fast as possible. It is possible to have the entire car wet-sanded and polished. Supposedly a good paint shop can do this without going below the clear coat layer, but it is VERY expensive and carries a high element of risk to your finish. I have opted to live with the orange peel effect, and it no longer bothers me after eight years of ownership. Good luck.
Peace... Mack
