No hope mate. They just get bigger, and the few attempts at repair I've seen looked worse than the cracks.
Better to source a replacement (come up fairly regularly on here) and not hard to change, just lots and lots of fiddly bits to contend with.
If you label everything you disconnect/undo it makes it a lot easier when you come to put it all back in place.
Good luck!

go here and change it, one day job any dash will fit your car. my other advice not on this site is to remove your front seats.

yuo dont need to take out front seats to replace dash board and is only a 4 hour job.
I just replaced one last week end, very straight forward

Removing the front seats does make it a hell of a lot easier though!
And it only takes a couple of mins a seat.
I have a dash for sale right now, no cracks or scuffs, from a 320 touring.
Going cheap as i need to get rid of it.
