This is odd to me. None of my BMW's suffers cracks.

2000 540 with dark poplar- no cracks in 16 yrs
2002 E46 with dark poplar- no cracks in almost 15 yrs
2004 X5 3.0- sold $ 100k with no cracks after 8 yrs
2004 X5 4.8is with light poplar- no cracks in almost 6 yrs

I am cautious about touching the wood trim, but I don't know if I am *that* cautious? :dunno:

Right, it really looks like shattered glass.

Over 13 yrs /200k miles and no cracks in my trim.

I think drastic temp changes causes the cracking (cold winters/hot summers/non-garaged), and/or pushing on the door trim during opening.

I have the driver's door trim cracks. Just a few spider cracks. Nothing like the one shown. Everything else is picture perfect.

Makes sense even though my grandfather garaged it. I'm in NJ so the temp differences throughout the year are huge.
