Another poor quality part from BMW - the steering-wheel audio / phone control trim.

The black colouring must be 1000th's of mil' thin, utterly useless and not up to the job.

Is this part (a) readily available and (b) easily replaceable?


Thanks.

Bump!

I had mine changed under warranty....worth a try even out of warranty saying poor quality...

I think Phil got some once but knowing MINI I bet they aren't cheap!

Or could try a breakers..

I did have a set, and sold them on to Lee. Have to say I never had the issues mentioned here. Had them for approx 2 years and crossed them from one car to another too.

The set on the Coupe are coming up to 2 years old and show no sign of wear like this either?

Mine was about 2 years old, it was just the left one and not much but being black the grey showed just on the edge.....

Replace them with carbon fibre
