Need some experienced advice, can this be corrected?

Do you know if it's single stage paint?

Unfortunately, I don't think it can be corrected unless it is (and I doubt it is).

I don't think you will be able to correct it. That is a huge difference, actually kind of surprised how bad that looks.

I may not know what I'm talking about, but it looks to me like that car had a clear bra on it, that protected that area from the UV fade that happened to the rest of the car.

I don't think you'll be able to fix that as the fade may be under the clear (thinking about some red Hondas years ago where the basecoat faded under the clear). You could try hand rubbing with some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (auto parts chain store, Wal-Mart) on a microfiber applicator and see if you can make a difference.

Oh wait--it's not your car yet? Maybe they will let you rub on it anyway--that's really bad.

Like everyone else stated, it's probably going to require a repaint. But if the customer wants you to try, grab some decent compound and go at it with a yellow or orange hexlogic 5.5" pad.

Its not going to make it look any worse and if it works, could save the customer thousands of dollars.

That BMW isn't old enough to be a single stage paint.
I'd be more interested in the condition of the clear coat.
