Yeah, I kinda figured it had to be built like that. The scary part was I guess the wax wasn't wiped off well, so the curled metal had white wax smears that look exactly like scraped paint. Polished and realized it was just wax

My guess is because our cars are very commonly used and driven for its performance and with the different variations of suspension options, the factory did this to allow us to use wider tires and also allow more camber/alignment options. It is bred from a race line after all

This is true. The fenders and quarter panels usually are rolled to allow larger tires and lowered suspensions. I first noticed this when comparing a regular BMW 3 series to the M3...

Unless you specifically hit something, this is normal.
