The "peeling" plastic when new was amazing. They put a soft coat of SOMETHING on them for sure, none of the interior plastics felt like plastic when new.
I had my E46 for over 6 years, and the bottom of the door handle suffer the same fate. The top layer started to peel off at around 100,000 miles, and you can roll pieces of it off with your fingers.
Yeah, it didn't wear as well as I'd hoped. But they sure put something extra on those plastic parts to make them feel far more luxurious than newer cars for sure.
You're probably just used to them after some aging process. I'm pretty sure the F/G generation plastic won't hold up to the ravages of time either, but man...Even when new the newer BMW's plastic doesn't hold a candle to the mid 2000's plastic.
When new.
