Anyone else with cracked trim?

[O3X5]

Not too concerned over it but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?



Having problems with full image from Dropshots, will post better picture.

Mine has fine cracks, too. It's the sun, aging finish, etc., etc. Not planning on replacing.

What's weird is it's only the driver side, only other crack there is is a small one by the door lock button.

Most of my trims are cracked. Still deciding what type of vinyl I want to wrap them with...

Most of my wood trims are cracked. Very fine cracks, but there just the same. Not so obvious unless they're in direct sun. Not going to replace.

That's a common issue - not only on the e53 wood trim... Most other BMW I know suffer from this. As sageriders said: it's probably the age, high & low temperatures, tension, ...

I've got the same fine cracks on the drivers side only. Maybe it's from skin contact. I read a thread on refinishing the. As I recall, the owner took it to a wood craftsman who said the cracks were in the polymer finish and not the wood. They could be stripped and refinished, but the veneer is thin so it's a delicate process.

Wow so it is a common issue after all. I'd love to replace it with silver trim or a wrap in the future.
