Going to return these ones, but afraid I will only get another 2 that is equally bad.

Didn't BMW redo these in a different plastic the original version?

Maybe I got some old-new stock??!!

Is there a way to see when the part was made looking at the BMW p/n sticker?
Could be an NOS issue...depending on the vagaries of your markets.

Ive seen lot numbers and control markings on plastic parts, but usually we have no idea what they mean- what is new and what is old. For example on many parts there will be a screw inside the mold that they turn to 1,2,3,5, etc o'clock, which signifies different runs.
