BMW's Interior?

ledge76 · 01-15-2010, 01:08 AM

I noticed in my wifes car this morning that the right side wood trim cracked, we noticed last week when it was cold it was crackling and popping. I guess it finally had to give. The only thing I can guess besides that the piece is too tight is that it stays in the warm garage then she goes to work and it was in the teens. I looked it up and it was around $260

I'm pretty disgusted with BMW's interior parts such as the vinyl covered stuff flaking off. I've got a ten year old Toyota interior looks brand new and she drove the wheels off of an Accord that had nothing wrong on the inside.

Anybody else seen this problem?

ya usually you get fading paint on steering wheel trim and anything else that is excessively used i guess its normal. The only alternative would be wrapping everything in CF witch would cost anywhere from 2-300 dollars by a pro and about $30 if you DIY.
