My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Mine looks brand new (06) because the whole airbag was replaced, under warranty, a couple of months ago because the old one looked like crap. I wonder what the heck the previous owner used to do to it. I suspect it might have to do with cleaning agents...

Guys-beware.........the stick on overlay ones look great but they do not break like the factory one days in case of airbag deployment.
My BMW SA warned me and said to take it off--can be a serious hazard if the airbag deploys-take ur eye out or something!

87 and it looks like its 3 years old. It could easily buff out to new but i'm not really affected by it.

mine's just fine, thanks the rim of steering wheel is showing some age, but that's a common thing - or so I'm told - on the heated wheels.
