I tried BMW leather conditioner on passenger seat, still the same. Here is a better pic of driver side

It is darker than the original color. I think the owner who I bought it from always used his left hand to get out the seat.

It looks like a bit of color fade on driver side. Which is normal wear. But the dark spot is not sunburned. Its dirt and color can rub off your dark jeans. Conditioner is not a cleaner. U apply and scrub it with a non abrasive brush. Like a toothbrush using a cleaner. Than condition. I would google search DIY leather detail. Either that or take it to a proper detail shop.

Do a test of cleanliness. Take a white towel and wipe your leather steering wheel with a bit of soap and water. See how dirty it is. Every car i bought used is dirty. Except my acura. Which was previously dealer detailed.

Leather gets dirty. Even if its black. Fwiw i wipe my steering and shift knob once a week. :p
