As long as they replace it under warranty I guess I'll stay optimistic about my future Sensatec seats should their batch not be up to snuff.
My wide's 2019 X3's leather seats are not doing well as the leather is already rather dry and much less supple than when new....but we haven't treated them they way would have had we owned the car either.
A bit off topic, but tangentially related, I took my 2019 440GC in for warranty repairs to my door trim chrome because its really getting milky and spotted looking. The service writer said it was not covered under warranty (the car had under 20k and was less than 3 years old at the time).
As long as I can remember BMW has had quality issues with the chrome on lower model cars (3 series as that is where my experience is). It gets permanent water spots and starts to get very cloudy from sun exposure (this was common when I lived in Orlando).
Is this right or was he just trying to get me to move along?
