door panel material leather?

[m3f_tom_m3_e1cd87bc63]

I have a 99 M3 with light gray interior. I have the vader seats so I guess I don't have the luxury package. Is the light color panel covering my doors made of real leather? I had a E36 before and the material was obviously vinyl but on the 99 m3 it looks and feels different. Could it be real leather? I'd like to know do that I can properly clean and condition it. Thanks

im pretty sure its leather.. mine is extremely soft, so i just go ahead and use leather cleaner/oil..

figured since this post is about leather i would ask u guys what have u found anything peticularly good for conditioning and cleaning the leather in our e36s? mines a little hard and could be cleaner especcialyl in the ridges and ripples , thanks for any info

well.. this is going to sound weird.. but leave it to the moms... found that saddle soap is the best thing for cleaning/maintaining/moistening the leather.. believe it or not.. it works well..
