Steering wheel funky discoloration
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Anyone else with a 2013 seeing this? I'm pretty sure I'm losing HP because of it. I talked to my SA about it and we're waiting to hear back from the shop foreman. Update: Here's a pic of the loaner I had which has the exact same discoloration. The dealer replaced mine under warranty. Last edited by JJunkins; 01-17-2013 at 07:41 AM.. |

I had nearly all my BMW steering wheel airbag badges replaced because of this. They seem like a faded blue, and/or the yellowing of the badge. Strangely enough, all the replacement badges never changed color. My current E90M3 service records show the previous owner replaced it as well, and it looks like the outside roundel, dark blue/white ... perfect.

I have cleaned and condition the leather, steering wheel interior trim pretty consistently and never had a problem
I think the key is proper cleaning to prevent this Do you have any pics OP? |

Did you eat one of those blue BlowPop suckers we all loved so much as kids and then sneeze on your steering wheel?
I like to troubleshoot...

My SA just called. Car is ready and they replaced that steering wheel cover under warranty. I'll try to get some pics from this loaner since it has the same issue.
