Seat Emblem Plastic
total noob question...do anyone of you guys recall peeling off a plastic cover over the seat emblems when you first got the car. Lol I just noticed some plastic peeling off. Warranty expires the 16th.

The silver emblems are known to crack from the heat and the cold. See if you warranty it through BMW before it expires. But upgrade to the black emblems if you can.

That wasn't even the most frustrating part of my end-of-warranty service. I understood the reasoning that the car (a 2015 model) wasn't sold with the black emblems originally so it wouldn't be repaired with them. But also the "4" came off my front grille "M4" emblem and I asked them to replace it. Well, it took about 4 emails back and forth with the SA because they needed the lost "4" for some reason to substantiate the warranty claim. : In the end, they covered it under "goodwill" but my SA made it clear that this was going 'above and beyond' lol To this day I wonder where that little "4" could be... what adventures has it had and why did BMW want it back so badly? |

I went in for this for warranty as it was expiring as well. The silvers were both cracked. They agreed to replace under warranty - but only the silvers. Made me buy the black ones and then they installed the black ones "free of charge" and gave me the extra new silver ones.
Speaking of... I should make a FS thread for the silver ones.

Had mine replaced under warranty a month ago and the dealer actually called me to get permission to put black ones instead. They said the silver were discontinued, but they might be able to get them from other dealer stock if i really wanted silver. I'm glad i got the black ones, as they don't have the cracking issues.

Oh wow. I had my silver seat emblem replaced already under warranty over a year ago. The issue was both Driver and passenger had the flaking. Just when I thought the spending was done

M4 seat emblems
I took my M4 into the dealer today to ask about getting my emblems replaced because they're cracking. They told me that it has to be approved be a regional manger before they can even order the parts.

That seems odd as this is a relatively common problem. My dealer told me they were ordering the emblems right after my appointment, it didn't seem like they needed approval.
