There is a whole thread on it here.
But basically the new dash material is the same material from the E36 so its more rubberized and less plastic then the original E30 dash. So it is not prone to crack.
BMW change the material after the E30's were done being produced, most likely because they had so many complaints and maybe warranty repairs on the old dashes cracking.Comment

I bought mine off a guy on ebay that had one of the last new ones left. Here are some pics, didnt even have the VIN holes in it :)
Here are the two side by side. The new one is in the front. The material is definitely different.
The only pain was the new dash was made for a non airbag car so it was missing 3 brackets that are on the old dash and they were riveted on. I had to drill through the rivets then rivet them on to the new dash.
Here is my mess with the old dash out
And the new dash is in!! I got tired, will finish wiring up the cluster, HVAC and radio another day, but I did get to clean up some of the OP's mess of the radio wiring while I was in there.

BTW a lot of holes on the new dash are not drilled through so putting the cluster in you have to kinda guess where they are. Nice that its new but some of it is a pain.Comment
