Has anyone seen this? I tried water and P&S interior with a brush and it made do no difference. If I look closely, it looks the plastic is scrape off, therefore giving that white stuff. I hope that is not the case.

Would appreciate any advice to remove this annoying spot.

Thanks!

I have seen this before. The factory coating that is over the plastic as worn off/failed. Mainly due to high traffic (arm), sweat, etc. You won't be able to remove it.

It make sense now because that is the shape of my elbow!! Is there anyway BMW can do anything about it? Like touch up? I literally bought the car new last year :(

Definitely seems like a possible warranty claim

I'd say it would hopefully be a warranty repair. I'd want them to replace the door panel. It can be 'fixed', some interior/upholstery guys re-dye/repair etc. But if it's a new vehicle, I'd want a replacement panel...

I was confused too... I would have merged the two threads but they are for different issues and different areas of the car.


Here's the thread I replied to,

Ok. Just thought the spots might have been similar. You would think by now, they could produce car interior plastics that are scratch proof and damage proof. I am sure the tech is out there, just costly to produce no doubt.

Hey guys! I apologize for the confusion. It's the same post. I didn't know how to delete the first post. I took a better picture of the white ring. So it looks like this is damage from BMW? :(
