Steering wheel peeling...

in13 · 01-04-2009, 04:53 PM

Is this covered by the warranty? The white part is where the black is peeling away from the wheel.

willa1975 · 01-04-2009, 04:54 PM

Jeez, man, I sure hope so.

SoCalTech · 01-04-2009, 05:19 PM

Yes, it's covered by warranty.

ak335 · 01-04-2009, 05:23 PM

YES had mine replaced twice

-=Hot|Ice=- · 01-04-2009, 05:35 PM

Yep, it is covered under warranty.

openwheelracing · 01-04-2009, 05:36 PM

I don't see it...

bsamoul · 01-04-2009, 05:52 PM

o yes under warranty, btw im goin into service for the same reason and its actually the 3rd time.

Had almost my entire interior black trim peices (door handles, ect) replaced my last visit to the dealership. This time they are fixing my fading steering wheel emblem and are having to order a brand new $800 airbag for the simple $1 emblem

Gotta love BMW Warranty sometimes

Yes it is my steering wheel and my driver door handle started to bubble and I took it in and they ordered me another one. Should be putting it on this wednesday.

M3350Z · 01-04-2009, 09:39 PM

I thought I was the only one that had this. Almost in the exact same spot. Glad to hear it's under warranty

Vnak · 01-04-2009, 10:04 PM

omg! mine is doing the exact same thing, but wasn't sure if it was covered under warranty.

openwheelracing · 01-04-2009, 10:13 PM

wth are you guying talking about here? It's driving me nuts. I see some discoloration, but no peeling...

abcommercial · 01-04-2009, 10:39 PM

I thought the grey interior was the only one that developed white spots. Guess they all do? Geez -- you would think the plastic would have pigment mixed in; not surface painted.

schneid · 01-04-2009, 10:52 PM

United BMW in Atlanta did NOT cover mine.

the part where you see "discoloration" is from the black paint (or whatever it is) peeling and exposing the bare metal.

mine is starting to peel, but isn't as bad...i hope my dealership covers it...btw is it possible to get just that steering wheel trim piece?

SoCalTech · 01-05-2009, 12:05 AM

Yes. That trim piece is available separately.

nice to know... the BMW emblem on my steering wheel looks either fading or oxidizing.

Hey, thats why you have a warranty

I talked to one of the techs at my dealership about the emblem, and he started nodding his head and said it wasnt an uncommon issue and they have replaced some before. The part that sucks for BMW is that the emblem is attached to the airbag, so the entire airbag has to be replaced... $$ouch

AKbmw · 01-05-2009, 12:59 AM

so can i scratch my wheel and have them give me a new one?

I don't think they will cover a scratch, they will just say you did it. But mines started bubbling and as soon as it did I took it in, and now they are replacing it.
