Hello all:

The leather on the driver side seat is peeling off. Is this covered in the maintainence warranty?

Thanks

hope you dont get offended, but that looks like some serious abuse in those 2 years.
doubt BMW will honor this excessive wear & tear.

That looks like a wear & tear. Does not look like a defective leather or workmanship. No way it will get replaced under warranty, sorry.

Dealer will likely ask what you had in your back pocket to cause the wear.

There is no "maintenance warranty"...

there is a maintenance plan, and an Original Manufacturers Warranty.

The maintenance plan will not cover product issues or failures, that part is easy.

The damage you've posed looks like wear and tear. Will BMW say it is excessive (and perhaps due to a defect in the leather?) or will they say it is normal wear and tear due to a big owner and short trips with many entries?

Looks like some mechanical abrasion might have contributed too....
