F10 Headlight cracking issue?

So I just bought my 2013 F10 535 and as I was inspecting it noticed on the corner of both headlights, there were hairline cracks and I showed it to the SA and he brought his manager and he said that he has seen those before. Seems like a manufacturers defect and they will try to replace both of them.

Has anyone ever seen that before? Is this a common thing on these, mine has 22k miles on it when I bought it. Got it CPO'd but dont want this to happen all the time

Mine has about 25k on it (had it a year and a half) and I don't have this issue. I've never heard of this; sounds like they are BSing you.

Never heard of this being an issue. Condensation would appear right away if the headlights have cracks in it.

well its not cracks, its knicks in the lens.

eitherway he said he can get that replaced under bmw factory warranty so thats all that matters I guess but just wanted to see if its a widespread issue.
