I live even more towards the north pole than both of you... Its not exactly tropic or desert climate up here In Estonia.

And yes i have had dash bubbles develop aswell... I try to catch them early to not allow them to get big and i use leatherglue and a medical syringe to inject new clue under the leather, then put some pressure on it and let it cure. But i have done it already twice... and im sure i will do it again and again...
Before going the syringe route i did try using a heatgun method...idea is to carefully heat the spot up so the glue under it would melt/ become sticky again and reglue itself... for me this attempt wasnt very successful... syringe seems to work better...

An yea Drummer$Dude i had same issue exactly in the same spot... passenger side upper dash.

and this is not just a z4 issue... all bmw-s with leather dashes do this... 6 series coupes from same era for example i have seen horrid examples of this issue...
There’s a very thin ‘blow off’ panel in the middle of the passenger dash where the airbag is….maybe it overheats there…?
