As you can see in the picture this is what's happening to the inside of my car. What can I do about it?

Warranty if you have it. CPO won't cover it only original warranty.

If not, you need to replace the trim pieces.

Are there any pre emptive steps that can be taken to avoid this?

I've read that hand lotion will cause the peeling so stop using it. Grown men don't use lotion anyway. Only in more private settings...

BUMP, where can I buy these parts from? parts #? thanks

Bavauto has interior pant for our cars check them out you need 2 parts paint and something else to tired from work to check it out but the paint is like 16 bucks

[Snyperx]

I think the product being referenced is the Colorbond Interior Spray Paint sold on Bavauto.

Wow I have the exact same pealing but you can't even see in black. It bothers me some but most don't notice.when I saw your pics I had no idea it happed for other color tones. I cringed when I saw your cup handles. What a flaw

[e90mbition]

my friend has this on his car too, i think it may be due to the sun and the heat in the summer, thats what he told me

[Bavarian Tech]

Either pay to replace em, or do a two tone interior setup....Paint em black and be done with it..Alot of other things in the interior are black to match, upper dash,door panels, wheel

Btw BMW blames it on "exposure to certain hand creams & sun tanning lotions"

[rdeterman]

replace them..

[BrazilianBimmer]

I doubt this could have been cause by lotion and sun tanning cream, I think more from sun exposure...because this happened before I had tints on

Of course BMW is going to blame on anything but crappy material they use on the base model.

The colorbond stuff work well? I want to change my lower dash, center console, door panels, seats etc from light gray to black.

[BrazilianBimmer]

I've been searching to see if anybody has actually done this. Used the color bond paint to color interior trim so I can see how it looks

[DUI Elite]

I also have this issue, but mine is only bubbling and only on my drivers door. Its no where near as progressed as yours.

I would probably end up doing what others said and paint the pieces black rather than replace and have them fail again.

[BrazilianBimmer]

Well it wasn't like this before, I mean not as bad, but when I was condition the leather part of the door trim, I noticed it would get bigger and bigger

[Brian_TII]

Replace them. I don't think the newer parts will do it again. I seem to recall reading that BMW revised the part to prevent it. Previous owner of mine had most of those panels replaced under warranty and mine are still perfect.

[Hasek9339]

I think that is the worst I've ever seen!!

Just had a specialist come to the house and repaint them. They take all of the old paint off (since BMW paints their trim pieces) and repaint them after they are color matched. Came out real nice, but I see you live in VA....he is located here in NJ

[BrazilianBimmer]

A specialist? someone from the stealership or an independentent body/paint shop?

[bigaizsosexy]

specialist. He has his own company because apparently a lot of dealerships paint the trim, so he does it for a living. He has several contracts with BMW, Benz and Ferrari.
