CURIOUS ABOUT DASH MUTATIONS

Anyone else have flaws in the vinyl pattern on the dash? I just heard that it was common (a mini sigature).

none that I have found, and I'd like to keep it that way (so I don't stare at them every time I get in the car!)

No, Brand New. Spoke with the dealer. He said it was common, and makes the mini more personalized.

Not really a flaw, but when the sunlight is right, I can see the outline of the airbag section on the passengers side dash.

Dash Mutations

Yes, I can see that too. This is a slight line and several spots where the pattern of the dash (a series of dots) are different, so they look like fingerprints. I thought they were grease spots and asked the dealer to wipe them off. I tried to get them off as well, but they are permanent.
