I have seen this on multiple X5M's with this type of intake. Years ago, I did consider buying one, until I started to see these types of issues develop.
I have a Carbonio CF engine cover and airboxes on my 07 E63 AMG, and I have seen the cover and airboxes start to yellow over the years due to the engine heat but they have never cracked.
As seen in the picture below. And often times these things aren't covered by any warranties. I would take it to a body shop and have them sand down the clear coat and respray it.
