Interior plastics degradation
I've noticed a common issue that the interior plastics degrade and lose their coating. Anyone have a good solution if you can't source new parts. Thanks in advance .

There are spray cans with BMW soft touch paint, haven't tried them on my E90, but in my e46 it worked well, the prep work of removing all of the old paint and sanding everything down took quite a while.

Sorry if that seemed a bit rude, it wasn't my intention, I only ask because I am in the process of replacing every piece of wear in my E90 and there has not been a single part I haven't been able to order from BMW. Guards, buttons, keys, plastic shields, seals etc.

The only one that I haven’t done yet is the driver door pull/handle. That piece is part of the door trim and a much bigger job. Fortunately it only has a couple of light scratches that I can live with for now. I actually suspect these soft-touch trim pieces deteriorate through the use of interior vinyl protectants/restorers rather than anything else including the Aussie sun.

these parts degrade because bmw build quality on these parts is garbage
our cars drive nicely and are aesthetically appealing but the quality of these plastics are very poor. |

Thanks, wasn't sure you could order new parts for an older car, figured they'd have run out long ago.

I'm fairly certain that the German manufacturers continue to make and stock parts for their cars for 20 years, certainly for their more prestigious models. You could literally build a brand new car from parts if you wanted too, however it would be several times the price of what the car would have been new.
