I would research furniture clinic, they are a leather restoration company and I've had that issue on my previous m3 and some of their products help, but to truly fix this issue and to have new leather you will need someone to fix it.Originally posted by Circa Surviven View PostI've got cracks already forming, but is there a specific leather cleaner/conditioner someone could recommend?
i belive their heavy filler fixes that issue, at least temporary, but what might also help is hydration of the leather, so their leather revive or leatherique
furniture clinic products are decently cheap tooLast edited by M/Anthony; 05-18-2020, 07:25 PM.

I wouldnt use degreaser tbh, use a dedicated cleaner. Ive used gliptone before, seemed decent, fresh scent (smelled like clean fabric). And a good cleaner will only take you halfway there. You need a good, soft, natural fiber brush to gently agitate the surface without damaging it, a microfiber or sponge probably wont cut it.Originally posted by Circa Surviven View PostI've got cracks already forming, but is there a specific leather cleaner/conditioner someone could recommend?

Pretty much all modern cars (E46 M3 included) have a layer of clear on the leather. You can't "treat" it and leather care products are useless and just build up on top and attract more grime and dirt. Wear is a function of how you get/in out of the car and sun exposure. Just gentle soap with a damp microfiber from day one is best.Last edited by bmw; 08-31-2020, 07:14 PM.

I dont think theres any on the shelf products that will help the wear. I would look into having the seats redone or purchase a used set of seats in better condition.
My seats are cinnamon. Ive used the lexol cleaner to clean the seats. After this I use armor all on the entire interior (matte) to finish it up. Don't use the regular Armor all, theres an interior cleaner that leaves the seats with a Matte finish which will do a better job of hiding imperfections. Glossy conditioners and treatments will make the wear stick out like a soar thumb.
