How old is your car and what is the condition of the BMW roundel in your steering wheel?
Just a couple of lip smudges from me kissing it every time I get in the car to drive it.

On my '08 535i, it's perfect. On the '95 525i that I bought new, it was also perfect as of 12/2007.

I hardly use my car and never have my hand on the roundel on the wheel but it still looks like its got a lot of internal crack marks in it.

Same here. when i sold it it had a lot of small internal cracks.

Those of you who put stickers on it, you realize that the airbag comes out from there right?

It's just a sticker placed on top of a plastic roundel. It's not impeding anything. I can't imagine it would affect the force of an airbag deployment. If it were that big of a safety issue, I doubt they would have placed a roundel there at all.

The sticker will not affect the airbag, the airbag does not just come out of that little circle.
