Restore Leather

Hi.


My seats are a bit worn, with white cracks here and there.

I thought about getting a repair kit from this site BMW | Leatherique Restoration Products

Does anyone know which of these bmw OEM colors which match the grey and black seats.?

It's a 2001..

Many BMW's, not all BMW's.

Hi Ekvals,
Can't help with colours, but that's taken care of already. I have used Leatherique on my X and results were outstanding. This product is really something as it brought out years of all sorts like food, sweat, drink etc. If you run with this product try and leave it on (the Restorer prep stuff) as long as possible (12 hrs +) before moving on to the Cleaner. End result was like new leather, very soft and supple with a pleasing odour.

Cracks are a different story, I believe Leatherique can help with those as well. Good move to make good now as it/they will only get worse.

GL.

Okey.. Thanks for the tip.. I'll be getting some of that stuff...


Yeah, i think it still looks great..
Had the ccv issue this winter. plus i had to replace the disa valve. Along with some other small things, it was a tough winter.. But I'm looking forward to the spring comming up..

To get it polished and exchange the 18" winter wheels, with the 20" summer wheels..
