Paint Peeling- No longer covered
 
Tried to get by dealer to replace the left side "strut" of my '08 X5 4.8's steering wheel that has begun peeling and he advised BMW is no longer coveriung under warranty as of Jan 1. Strange since they covered my '06 M5 a few months ago and it is definetly a manufacturing defect (painted plastic) and apparently has been going on for years. Anyone else having the same issue?

That would be a manufacturers defect for sure. Unless of course they can provide proof that you caused it to peel off or find the pack of trolls living in your X5!

Go to another dealer... Others have had this problem and had the pieces replaced under warranty.

replaced 1/4 without problem.

To be clear, the 2010 warranty states the following items are excluded:

"Items which are subject to wear and tear or
deterioration due to driving habits or
conditions, such as brake pads/linings, brake
discs, clutch disc, pressure plate, filters,
upholstery, trim and chrome items, paint
finish, drive belts, glass, and similar items,
are specifically limited to defects in material
or workmanship"

So is the peeling a normal wear and tear, or a defect in the material?

Sounds like it is subject to interpretation, AND bmw may be revising policies....

whoa...not good. My X5 is in the dealership right now (with peeling issues as secondary purpose of the service). Haven't received update call from my SA yet.

So BMW is not covering Brake pads/lining and discs?? What happened to their advertising blitz about everything being covered, including brakes and discs????

That's covered under the Free Maintenance program, not the warranty... two separate programs with separate rules.
