Is this a common defect?
As I wrote in another thread, my '09 135i developed bubbles in the dashboard recently. The place I am dealing with tells me this is a common problem in the 1 series. Something about the type of glue used and the airflow from the defroster.
Since there was only one response reporting another dashboard problem like this, I am thinking it isn't common. Or have more of you had this issue? |

Not bubbles but you can see an out line where the passenger air bag goes. This is a know problem and apparently BMW will not warranty this. But bubbles no.

Some members on here have had the dealer replace the entire dash and some have not, guess it depends on your local BMW center. My dash is perfect as the day i bought the car.

it takes 3-4 years for the bubble around the airbag to show up. At least it did for me. :-(

I've not seen your bubble problem before. What is common is the passenger side air bag develops a crease on the dash for the airbag cut out(for when it has to deploy).

Airbag ring but no bebibles. Desleír asedio t replace dashboard but i refused. Don't think techs at any dealer would do a job as good as the robots used to put the dashboard together at the factory. So I learned to live with it. :-)

That's where I am as well. Dealer work is dealer work.
