Shift Knob Wear Already?

Evoking · 05-01-2008, 09:51 PM

My M Coupe has 8k miles and is about 7 mo old and I'm already seeing slight wear around the light. Its like sweat or chemicals are eating the first layer of the leather but ever so faithly.

Have any of you seen this? I've had many BMW's and never saw this even after 40-50k...

Mine has about the same miles and the leather is getting a bit shiny...but no wear. There is wear on the steering wheel on the left side of the cross section... guess thats where I put my hands alot... oh well, having too much fun driving the car to notice all the time.
