'm not sure what you've been seeing, and this wasn't market specific. Sometimes it was more smooth looking than the next car, but as Tim stated, this area must be resistant to stone chipping and road debris. 

Since I haven't  poked at other people's cars with sharp tools like I did with mine, I'm willing to concede that one. But as far as my two cars are concerned, I'm adamant.

Ptashek,

I can see it in your pic, the coating on the sills is nowhere near as thick as elsewhere, maybe 1-2mm, but it is definitely a rubberised undercoating.

Then the only viable conclusion left to make is that someone in the past removed the coating.  Again, all W116 cars came from the factory with shutz sprayed on the rocker panels.  We've shown you factory documentation of said coatings, and yet you still are adamant about yours not ever having any?  This makes no sense.
