Mine got shredded on the driver's side, also. X5 less than 1 year old, and I am virtually the only driver. I am not fat, and don't knowingly rub against the gasket when I get in or out of the car. I still can't figure out how this happened. Happily, the dealership replaced it without a second thought. Must have been a stocked item, because I had it in for other work, and mentioned it at drop off. It was fixed when I picked it up a few hours later.
