My M240i is less than 3 years old and both black chrome exhaust tips are flaking due to heat, fumes, and condensation.

My local dealer asked the regional specialist if they could replace them and they got a firm no. I complained to two people at BMW NA but they stated they will be sticking with the dealership's decision and will not be overriding this.

I coincidentally have it back at the dealership I bought it from (50 miles away) to rectify a due bill cosmetic concern and asked them if they can look into it, but they had low hopes for a resolution when I dropped it off.

Warranty doesn't seem to cover exhaust tip cosmetic defects as far as I can tell.

Has anyone had luck getting these replaced under warranty? If so, how?
