JCW Worn Emblem Replacement

Does the 4yr/50k mile warranty cover the JCW front grill emblem that has little of no paint on it?

Does it cover pitted headlight trim rings and front grill trim?

Minor I know but BMW want over $100 just for the emblem.


Thanks, Bill

Highly doubt it; but doesn't hurt to ask.
More than likely they will not provide a new one.

No; again, that's like asking for a paint respray because you drove the car behind a sanding truck... they won't honor such due to normal wear & tear.

Not surprised, and kinda a good thing too.
If it was so cheap, there'd be tons of impersonating JCW owners out motoring around; MADNESS I SAY!

Seriously? No, the warranty does not cover worn trim pieces unless it is a manufacturing/manufacturer defect.
