I first noticed it with less than 5K miles on the vehicle so I took in to my local dealership and they have agreed to replace them under warranty. I enquired as to whether I could have the chrome ones swapped out for the shadowline ones and they were unwilling to do so, however, they did state that if I ordered the shadowline ones, they would install for free and I could keep the new chrome ones that were being replaced under warranty.
After enquiring about ordering the shadowline ones, I am told that they are on backorder and not currently available, so I was able to get some from IND for $530USD all in including shipping to Canada. I struggle with how a 3rd party distributor can have them in stock, but I can't order them directly from BMW. I was planning on swapping the chrome ones out at some point anyways, so at least I save on the labour. |
Happening to me like crazy.
