Steering wheel coating peeling
My vehicle has been cared extremely well, I was the first owner with extremely low KMs, now I notice the steering wheel coating is peeling, didn't expect this from a BMW.
What else am I expecting to peel ?

Are you talking about an E70? My switch for daytime running lights peeled but was covered under warranty.

Really? I wouldn't have spent do much money if I knew, what about the leather?

leather lasts longer - on my E39 it started to crack after about 10-15 years...

As Terminator has said your inside door handles will peel as well.
