yeah I try them next.

The SM at East Bay just called me with an offer to replace the pieces at cost, so $38 for the inside door handle and $58 for the steering wheel trim, wow what a joke how cheap they are to think they will now lose a customer for life over $96.00.

And the saga continues, now Fremont BMW won't replace the parts under warranty and that is without taking the car in for an inspection. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

That totally sucks, I guess they play nice only when you buy the car from them.

Anyone had success in the Philadelphia or delware county area with getting trim replaced? A recomended dealer would be nice to know.

Anyone familiar with the Knoxville area. I have a few things I'd like looked into, but I didn't buy from Grayson BMW. The bad thing for me is that because Knoxville's such a small city, there are no other BMW dealers other than Grayson.

I had the cover of the upper glove box come off in the heat and they replaced it for me no questions asked.

:thumbup:

Went and the service manager said "no problem!" I have an appointment Monday morning to get the trim and the running boards replaced.

Anybody know the cost of the inside door handles and if they can be bought online? I dont care to do the work and surely they cant be too expensive.

I recently purchased a 2008 X5 and have 2 places where the trim is peeling - I didn't even notice when buying the car. The SA told me they would take care of it.

RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog find the part, then check sites like getBMWparts.com (tischer BMW) or call individual dealers.

that's what most of us already do.
