You must be blind. I can see the kink in that picture plain as day. Unless that's how it was supposed to look from the factory.

I think heat, sun exposure and age warp the dashes.

I guess my next question is, how expensive is a new dash from BMW (non-airbag)? Anyone replaced one before?

I think that is the shape of the top of the instrument dials.... None of my dash's look warped at all, and they all look like that.

I'll do a search on dash R&R for the E34. I heard someone say it's fairly simple to replace. So, the next question becomes, what is BMW charging for a dash? If they want $3,000, they can go f$%@& themselves!

Are you assuming that the top of the dash at the point of the 'kink' should be flat? I think it has a contoured shape in it.

You're worse than me and my mirror obsession.
