    So, knowing full well neither previous owner or BMW dealership won't have bothered much with the leather, thought I would.

    When I got it used a bit of Meguiar's Leather Cleaner which worked well.

    I've just done passenger seat with a bit of Connolly Hide Care Cream Leather Preserver & Restorer. Says use sparingly and I have gone a bit OTT with it. Looks better, the real test will be drivers side bolster.

    Will that dry/soak to a Matt finish as per the original leather?

    The original leather is more shiny. This is going matt. I may do meguiar's over the top to go shiny.

    Will update with pics as and when.

    It's drying/soaking in quite nicely. Helps to do it when the leather can get warm.
