I have a 2012 M-Sport. This past weekend the weather was nice so I thought I'd tackle the tips. After giving them a thorough cleaning I discovered that the rounded edges at the ends were significantly pitted and the chrome had essentially chipped off.

Finding the replacement part number has been difficult - I finally had success on the BMW ETK (18 30 2 167 743). However, the part is $359(!) from Tischer and I need two.

Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm definitely going to contact my friendly dealer to try and get some relief but my regular SA is doubting they'll do anything. Contacting BMW NA is another option as well. Getting them re-chromed somewhere locally is an option....but I'm kind of pissed and not in a hurry to spend any real money on this.
