Hi guys. It seems I'm always back when i'm having BMW problems. My latest problem is that the power button for my radio is starting to melt. I went to the dealer asking to buy a replacement. They told me that they don't carry it. Any ideas as to where I could find it? Thanks in advance.

Are you parked next to a steam pipe or something? How can it be melting?

My best guess is that when detailing the inside of my car the chemicals that they used had some sort of reaction with the button, but then again what do I know.

They may not carry it in stock but surely they can order it?

Check out the Realoem site for part number and price. About $6.
