Climate control unit trim

Teutonicdriver · 06-27-2011, 02:30 PM

I just noticed that the trim around the climate control unit on my lci e90 appears to be flaking? It seems to have a coat of black paint over black plastic and this is starting to flake off. The car is eighteen months old and still in warranty but I dont know if that would be covered.
If not is it possible to
get a replacement trim which surrounds the climate controls?

most of your trim will peel in a few months time

what a shame

Im sorry, my sarcasm detector is presently in for service so I dont know if this is a sarcastic post or is degradation of the interior trim a genuine problem?
I wouldnt think it too much to expect the trim not to degrade within 18 months.

A fair bit of my trim (but not the heater panel) is showing signs of this.

Not a sarcastic post my friend... I have many many parts that are painted in that special vinyl paint, peeling, including the steering wheel trim, that is an issue in many many e90 members

... but it will be replaced in warranty.

Yes it will. I had mine replaced under warranty and no problems since.
