I've got a 5 door 2016 118i. It's only covered 21k but ever since it was about 2 years old I've noticed 3 significant areas of fading on the front bumper, where the black is now pretty much blue. I asked BMW to look at this while it was still under warranty, however they were about as useful as a chocolate fireguard and pretty much just told me it's not their problem.
I was just wondering if this is a common problem, and if anyone knows of any easy fixes to bring it back to its former glory?
Photo attached... Please forgive the fact that I don't clean the car first!!
