Interior: Door handle wear... warranty?
I have 21k miles on my car...
the interior door handle seems to be experiencing some rapid wear/tear. I.e. my nails have scratched off some of the "film" in the interior door handle. It seems pretty apparent... so will warranty cover this? just curious |

Door handle replacement
It is a known problem on the cars. Volkswagens seem to have a problem with the top layer of the plastic coming off like this as well. For a while the parts were back ordered so check with the dealer before taking it in. My dealer replaced without a problem but broke the multifunction switch during the replacement which had to be ordered as well.

Anyone get their dented aluminum trim replaced under warranty? I know of one guy getting it replaced but that is it.

Very well known Issue. Just have the dealer replace it. BMW says they have "updated" the part but I still have seen peeling issues. Just be careful with whats on your hands!
