Any suggestions on how to remedy this?
If it’s easy I’ll do it myself but if not I’ll just throw it back to BMW as it was from a main dealer.

Congrats on your purchase and hate to be the one to tell you this, but those paint sections are screwed. There is no "touching up" frozen paint, they likely destroyed the paint using traditional buffing methods. You simply cannot do that on frozen paint. Those sections will need a full respray, they won't be able to remedy those sections any other way.
Frozen paint is another animal. I absolutely adore frozen paint on my M4 CS, but I have all but admitted if I keep the car after another couple of years I will pop for a full respray in another color (likely either daytona or purple silk metallic). My car only has 20k miles on it, is always garaged, never abused, and even with that I can see some issues here and there in the paint. It is NOT for the faint of heart, and if I had to do it over again I likely would not buy a car with this paint.
With that being said, it's still unbelievably gorgeous and I get questions from random folks with every ride.
