Plastic on the door panel paint issues

Chalky White · 08-26-2008, 09:45 AM

I have 325i with grey interior. It's about 2.5 years old. Lately, I've been noticing that the hard plastic parts (the door pull on the passenger side and the hand pull on the driver's side) is just grey paint on black plastic, and has been peeling/rubbing off. Therefore, the black ugly plastic is showing through my otherwise pristine interior.

My car is a garage queen--the only time it's outside is on the drive to and from work, so it doesn't get hot.

Anyone else have these problems? Any suggestions on fixes? Will the stealership fix it for me?

Yes, yes, and yes. There's an SIB on peely door handles and the parts were updated to be colored plastic instead of coated. Dealer will fix if you're within the warranty period.

(nothing like a good ol

huh?
