Unfortunately, my experience with 3 series says yes. Modern post e46 beemers are quite fragile when it comes to 'plasticky parts' in particular e46 chrome or black window sill trim kept coming out in my e46 even after changing the catches.
there is a poorly designed black plastic corner piece that is situated under and behind the e90 front seats. it popped out 2 weeks after i collected the car. my dealership initally refused to change it saying it was wear and tear and somebody knocked it off!
Also my rear windscreen rubber was loose after 1 week. so beemers in my opinion are still prone to fragile body parts, dodgy QC and some plastic parts could be better designed.
