FWIW, my 2006 330i was damaged on the ship. I was told that a car got loose in rough seas, and I needed to have both drivers side doors, the hood, and the front bumper replaced. Since it was an ED car, I already took delivery and had 1500 miles on it. So, my only option was to have the dealer provide me a decent car while waiting for the repair to complete.
Btw, all damage done during shipping is repaired at the port of entry, where they have facilities that best match factory finish. It sounds like yours was not painted at the VPC though, which means it was damaged after leaving the port.
