Ok, unless it was scrubbed too hard, it definitely looks like a defect.

I didn't have them replace my leather seats but vinyl on steering wheel and sunroof switches/cover where peeling and had them replace without a problem. I think you can have it replaced "if" you can replicate the damage in front of them..

No way. The SensaTec is bulletproof.

Thanks for all your help and advice guys. The console was replaced under warranty and they also changed my oil while they were at it...
However, now my car got a drivetrain malfunction when they started it up Seriously, what gives??! All I have is MPPK and MPE The tech went home early and the SA said he didn't know I had the MPPK installed? Should I be worried? |

I've had the Dakota Leather in my F30 for over 2 years now, and I've never seen ANYTHING like that.

Well the dealer replaced the center console at no charge and replaced my HPFP while they were at it since it took a dump. The driver's side door armrest replacement is on order, as is a new driver's seat cover. They determined it was in fact a defect. Everything is being replaced under warranty.

I cannot see the original images but I feel I am experiencing similar but to a less extent. My car has 27k miles with white leather and I see some small spots in which it appears the leather has lost its color and is showing through is silver/gray/black instead of the white. I have only cleaned with bmw branded leather cleaner. Photos attached. OP any resolution?

Maybe the photo resolution on my phone is bad, or my eyes suck, but I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the pics...

Would not surprise me if that's higher now. And that does nor include labor, shop fees or tax. Again, this is only the leather covering except for rear headrests and center arm rests where the leather is not sold separately. FWIW, the costs for the same parts from a German BMW Dealer was slightly over 9000€ at the time which show the incredible markup BMW NA Customers pay for parts. |

FWIW I was able to get my seat covers replaced, there was "cracking' on the side of the bottom seat. I have the fake leather, and it's a CPO, maybe the guy before me was super fat or something idk. Replaced free of charge under original warranty, but I guessing the all surface protection they included with the CPO would have covered it as well.

First I want to apologize for posting in this topic, but I cant start a new one, it seems my account doesn't have any access to do it.
I have a 2015 435i convertible which has the rollbars out because of a minor accident. Does anyone know how I can put these back down so I can replace the rear window(rollbars broke it when they came up)? PS Please move my thread somewhere because I dont have the right to open a new one. Thanks! |
