I have attached the replacement offered- shadow line trimmed on the outside and regular chrome on the inside. Compared to the old defective part -- the inside is painted dark gray.
Just curious what replacement you guys were offered?
My concern with the replacement is that the inside will not age well.

You're probably right but i'd take that from the dealer. I'd sand off and do some high temp spray on the old one and then if it doesn't turn out, just install the shadowline one and call it a day.
My 2020 X5 has the same issue. It's terrible on the drivers side and starting on the passenger side. After a long trip and washing the car, my hose started spraying off more chunks on the drivers side.
Will have to take it to the Stealership to get it done under warranty.
