this looks just like how mine was. i dont see anything blown between the cylinders, did you have lots of white smoke or low compression?

at least the bp uses a multi layer steel head head gasket compared to the composite gasket the b6 uses..

I gotta tell ya, Sometimes headgaskets 'go' and they don't leave any trace of where.
I have seen obvious head gasket problems, and the gasket looks fine.
It's weird sometimes.
