WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, 2012 BMW 760Li, and 2011 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Plastic parts can be reshaped using a hot-air blower.
Microcracks can occur in the plastic if plastic parts are deformed. After the component is reshaped and then painted, the cracks may become visible again on the surface after a period of time.
The component must be replaced if microcracks can be identified in the area of deformation.
