Very common problem. You can replace them, or you can finish pealing the covering off to give them a nice smooth look.

when i had mine replaced, it sounded like they took the whole door apart, i had to drop it off for a whole day to get both front ones replaced. so it might be a pretty big task

For what its worth, if you and your passengers are careful not to dig your finger nails, rings, etc. into the handles they won't peel. I had to have two of mine replaced several years ago under warranty and have been careful ever since and do not have any peeling to this day. You shouldn't have to be overly careful, but its kind of like handling an egg, you know it will break if your not careful, so your careful.

Not true. On my 2004 X5 the handles never peeled (Truffle Brown interior). On my new 2006 X5 (Grey Interior) the drivers side has begun to bubble in five weeks. I also had a 2001 X5 that had two sets replaced due to peeling. In 2004 I figured BMW had fixed the problem.
