Yes, this is a known issue. It becomes problematic because BMW doesnt make these as panels but rather as components. So, if your AC knob has an issue, the entire AC control panel has to be replaced. The same for your radio knob/paint, you have to replace the entire radio assembly to get this fixed... My advice, live with it.. Its not worth the extra $. Let me know if you come up with any other solution and be careful what kind of chemicals you apply to keep the plastic looking clean...prob has a lot to do with it....
