Chipping/Flaking Steering Wheel

I have an 06' Sport...no problems at all except that the steering wheel is "chipping" next to the radio controls. I have seen it posted before that this was a common BMW problem, but does anyone know if replacing it is covered under the factory warranty? It seems to be getting worse with time.

Had it happen to me too... It was replaced under warranty. The original cover had a white base under the black paint on the cover, for some reason, and made the flaw very noticeable. The replacement has already come off a bit, but it's not as noticeable since the base color is now black.

Mine looked very similar, except at 6 O'Clock position. Replaced/covered under warranty last week.
