glovebox trim

Anyone have this problem with the trim on the glovebox popping out?
I dont think it was glued in and I'm buggered if I can get it to push back into position.

Do you think they fixed the old one or fitted a new one?

Also have a problem with the steering wheel coating peeling off.
Trouble is I don't even touch that part of the wheel.

I have something very similar to that on my car (not a BMW) and I'd swear it's the crap my wife puts on her hands that somehow reacts. She didn't even respond when I brought it up but I still think I'm right.

My wife has only driven the X5 a couple of times, I just think it's made of crappy material.

I had mine replaced early last month, was much worst
its a 2007
they say it happens often
they seem to say that with a lot of the little annoying bugs,
like; suspension leveler, comfort access, clunk in the trunk, side stiching on the seat giving up, auxiliary pump noisy(replaced)
I must be up to 9-10 visit since january
tried to resell for a 535xi and after 20 months the car is worth only 46K, paid 72k, was listed as 81k, and risidual on tyhe 535 for 36 month lease is down to 49%
they say thay can't resell as well as before
no wonder, with all these issues....

The electronics can be frustrating at times as well.

what year are your Xs? I see a handful of '07s. Could be 1st run issues they've corrected. They say it's common but it could be 07s that come back. Just a guess. I would call out poor quality if I see it but I haven't had any craftsmanship problems in my vehicle.
