Exclamation Steering wheel badge/roundel corrosion

My steering wheel badge is showing signs of corrosion from the INSIDE on the chrome areas. Not sure what could possible cause this. Just thought I would let people know to check it.

I cant be bothered taking it back to have the whole steering wheel replaced just for a badge...I have had more warranty work done to this car than any other car I owned so far.

I'm in the same boat. here's my current warranty issues that have been fixed:

1 - A/C control panel that came scratched from delivery
1 - rear tail light assembly that caused lighting issue
1 - crack third brake light (soon going in again for the same issue)
1 - HPFP
2 - headlight assemblies (condensation in both)

^ this is somewhat embarassing for a car that's 14 months old with less than 15K miles on the odometer. I know its a new model car whoch is bound to have problems but come on.... I have started a BMW file folder with nothing but warrant receipts and it has become quite full in one year's time.
