The SA and paper work indicate that the entire trim had been replaced so I'm assuming it wasn't just a re-glue job.

BTW: also had issues with the peeling trim on the rubbery part of the steering wheel. It wasn't a big enough issue to warrant a trip to the dealer alone, but a couple of things collectively prompted a vist and a fix all under warranty.

Now the steering wheel and glove box lid look good as new. Hope the replacements last long, as I would hate to make this a regular part of the "maintenance" process.

Good luck and try your dealer if you're experiencing the same issues.

Thanks mate, I will definately try to get it repaired under warranty.

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?

Mine was a Dec 07. Same glove trim problem. Replaced under warranty.

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...
