some dealers will be nice enough to replace trim wear & tear items under warranty, but some have been declined... it can't hurt to argue about it being CPO too. I've had the steering wheel button area trim start to peel, and the light switch also. Both replaced. My left rear door wood trim had a crack for some unknown reason - also replaced.

If you don't mind my asking, since you're in Long Island, which dealer did it for you under warranty? Would be nice to have a backup in case the Westchester ones say no.

Hassel BMW in Freeport. Rated among top 50 (or was it 25) in the country a couple years back and no other dealer around here can say that. BUT I'd think that you'd have the best chances with the people you bought it from. Good luck.

Yeah, I have heard great things about Hassel. I plan on going to the dealership I bought it from first, but they're pretty small (Pace). It's just good to know that some are performing this trim fix without question.

As for the bumper, that's definitely going to Pace. If they even dare say "You must have hit something", I'll hit them. I'll remind them that the car is 5 days old.

my 2007 X5 had this problem. My new 2011 Has a different piece that is just a nice matte plastic with no rubber coating to peel off.
They replaced trim on 2007 under warranty.
