07 X5, could be that they may have fixed the problem in later models.

My X5 was custom ordered as one of the first run '08 batches, so I took delivery in Oct '07 but technically it's an '08. Just curious, anyone else have a later run '08 model year or even an '09 w/these trim issues?

Thanks for the heads up on the steering wheel.. have it booked in to get it looked at ... pretty minor peeling at this point but I have < 1 year on warranty so want to get these things replaced as soon as...

I have the same issue with the steering wheel. Can you order the button 'section' separately ?

Just had the glove box replaced in our '07 with the same problem, now our steering wheel is peeling. Seems pretty common.
