Just a quick tip on the saddle brown leather both our rides are fitted with. You have to be very careful with it. The dye isn't very deep....this allows for the grain to come through and for suppleness. As such, you will have to use a very gentle cleaner on it. And you can't be too rough. The colour is actually rather dark - a greyish brown. It's coated first with a lighter off-white base colour, and then the saddle-brown dye that you see, is layered on top. So if you are a bit too abrasive or over-enthused in your cleaning regimen, you may end up with lighter patches which may eventually reveal, a darker shade beneath that!Stick to the leather cleaner/conditioner from BMW or use a gentle cleaner from Meguiar's first and then use your hands to rub in the BMW leather conditioner(if you use your hands, you end up using a lot less because the sponge really soaks up most of the stuff and you can do a better job 'feeling', to ensure even application). After that, if you leave the car in the sun, the stuff will penetrate much better. Just my 2 cents and a bit....</blockquote>
