Mine was replaced under warranty, and came with the storage bin... It looks way more invasive than I had thought.

keep getting these replaced as they come; it's the only way BMW is gonna notice and look for a permanent solution. I'm sure the dealers don't mind...extra hours to bill to corporate.

My replacement is getting the same indentation in Pic #2 slowly again. It actually changes shape based on temperature in the cabin

I think Cagekicker meant the storage bin on top. It does look added on. Seems like BMW is just saving money that way; if you dont order idrive, you'll get storage, but the dashboard mold is the same. I have a similar indentation but I dont mind it as much. I'd rather have a rattle-free car.

Correct me if I am wrong... It was my understanding that the dash indentation returns soon after BMW replaces your dash? So why bother then?

i'm guessing the indention is caused by heat? my car is always garaged during the day so it hardly sits in the sunlight baking. it's good to know its covered under warranty if it does happen to my car but i'm not sure if i'm liking the storage bin i think it looks cleaner without it and i wouldnt have any use for it. can we choose if we want the storage bin or not?

agree heat related.. I was out to town for 3 weeks came back and had the same indention.. totally pisses me off...

So, how long did it take to get this fixed at the dealer. I really hate for them to take all that apart...ugg.. rattles.. and all.. scratches....maybe...to my lovely seats...ok, going a little far here but you get my drift...

BUT look at pics again.. they are laying stuff in the seat..(tools mind you) without any any protection...I need to run to my room... help me...LOL

all 3 of my Honda's never had this problem or any really.

I have never, ever had this problem with any car. Going to live with it ...but will be taking the car in for a new Window motor to hopefully fix windown going 1/2 way down after closing, and new Software for the Navi when it i is available, as it shows a gas station 4 doors down from my house as well as me living in the wrong suburb! No, we do not have a gas station on a residential street in out subdivision.

If I had this done they would put in the standard dash, not the one in the photo.

I like that storage bin on my x3, but I'm not that excited about it on a 1er.

It is cool, but I love the clean dash on the 1er w/out it.

It would be convenient for sure, and 1.99 is a good deal! LOL

But yes, there is no gas station. Also, the Nav shows the names of suburbs, and it is usally wrong. I sent a report the the company that is responsible for the software, and they bascailly came back and said there is nothing they can do.
