Hi,

You know these wood trims (in the dash)never come pre inserted with the car.These are strips provided by BMW which the dealer fixes as per the package options he is offering at the time of delivery.It is removable and you should be getting a replacement without any issue.Clearly this is one area BMW guys can work to produce better looks, especially around the vent where the trims look like caved in.What do you think?

Wood veneer over plastic piece.

Veneer has a polyurethene type plastic finish on its face.

Looks and feels like plastic, but its real wood.
Correct BMW confessed in Dingolfing it is real wood 2 mm and laminted with the plastic layer. Mine was scratched at delivery dealer changed the whole trim for free. Good luck I am looking in some nice mods next year.

I like my dark poplar, but bmw have done a really good job at making real wood look like plastic. The way its moulded at some points make it look almost impossible to be real wood.

cheers

The process is actually quite complicated (expensive). But it is wood. Go into a lesser car (Volvo for instance) and you will see plastic wood imitation.
