Gaps in rear bumper in hot weather?

Anyone see this:

My coupe has it, gaps are not big, but still kind of annoying.

Anyone else?

i've got it, but it's expressed itself primarily on the driver's side.

Yup, mine are off by about 1mm on each side. Not TOO big a deal, but on a brand new car costing over $80K...
But they go back to normal at night!

Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Was starting to drive my family crazy with accusations over who drove into my rear bumper (yet left no scratches!).

This is an issue on my C63 and E class also. I've just learned to live with it. It is disappointing though since this is a non-issue on cars such as Lexus and Audi.
