Calm down guys...I never said it was, and the pic shows that. I mentioned earlier in the thread where it came from, and as Rich knows, I just purchased one of the mybimmer.net bezels. There is nothing wrong with the bezel I'm selling other than it doesn't work for my height and seating position. When Sobi owned it (he's much shorter than I am) he said it was perfect for him, so it should be perfect for someone else as well.

Both look completely fine inside the interior, and the one I have even has texture that matches the grain on the dash. Per your pics Rich, I see that the E46 bezel has an indentation to match the seams with the dash and trim...any reason why the E53 bezels don't have that? Since neither my bezel nor Rich's has those indentations, neither one really has "lines that flow really well", but either way, I'm looking forward to getting mine.

I'm probably going to be wrapping the bezel and the trimwork in silver DiNoc, then the bezel will at least match the trim in color and texture since it doesn't have the seams. Thinking about it, it's probably better that the one I have coming is lacking the seam lines to match the dash since it'll be one less place for the DiNoc to potential not have a tight fit. I don't know how pliable the stuff is, and with the heat, I'd be afraid that after time it would have started to bubble and/or seperate if the bezel had that seam anyways.
