Yellowing of the PPF on Quarter Panel

Have a Hockenheim Silver M2c and noticed the OEM PPF is already yellowing.

Is there an easy way to fix this instead of removing it?

After a year mine turned yellow, on an AW, so I pulled it off and replaced it with Xpel....shame on BMW for using inferior film.

I had the OE film replaced two weeks after delivery (it was already yellow) when I had my Suntek PPF installed. The new film is thicker, and extends to the door jamb to provide more coverage.

Same, although mine changed colors almost immediately. Couldn’t have been more than 6 months. I just got a larger piece of xpel. So glad I did too, as there is a cut on the xpel now that would have clearly damaged the paint if it was not there.
