 I have a 2011 750LI Xdrive BMW.The paint on the knobs on my panel are coming off,I called BMW to complain.I went to a dealership and found that other 750LI X were having the same problems. If you are having this problem please call the head quarters of BMW and file a complaint maybe we can get them to replace the knobs. I had a 2007 750LI BMW and never saw any fading on the heat controls , startup controls and a few other.To spend 100k BMW should not put cheap anything on this car.
