Got the peeling off the steering wheel. No issues with the wood.
And what am I looking at on the light switch?

BMW uses a lot of rubberised coating on plastic thesedays to cut costs and make them seem more upscale. These coverings respond poorly to extreme temperatures, long fingernails (or brute force), and some chemicals such as those found in lotions and hand cremes.
I remember back when everyone criticised the X3 for having cheap plastics. At least mine don't peel. |

Lower left corner. Many have this problem, including me. It's only starting to peel like in the pic, but there was another pic here recently where it got real bad.
About the other peeling, I'd like to know when they replace it, is it a different material used? Because it's just temporarily fixing the problem until it happens again - out of warranty.

Sure it's a QC problem but they fixed it for you free under warranty. It took a little time out of your day and it's irratating but what else do you want them to do?
