That is definitely NOT good. You shouldn't be using anything that makes your seats look that greasy.

Dealers are not that willing to invoke that for whatever reason, but BMWNA will cover it if properly requested. |

Any conditioner you put on will look greasy. But then after it dries out overnight it will be back to a matte finish again. But you should always use a cleaner first on the leather before you condition.

Here's my passenger seat on my X5M- which I apply the same treatment. No grease man- It comes off. Not 30k miles like my m3, but still- 13k miles, no cracks, nothing, and I have plenty of passengers in this car.

Holding something in your hand and wheel turned? I've seen that exact type of "cracking" but it's from self-inflicted damage. Not any type of normal wear from what I see in the picture. |

For instance, another cause might be if you're holding keys in your hand while reversing into a spot and whipping the wheel around ... At least that's how it happened to me. *note: only an estimate

All he's doing is smearing cream on to the leather and then wiping it off with his bum.

It's covered. Both my m4 and x6 had to be replaced. Mine did not crack, but the outer layer of color wore completely off in several spots. Now, keep in mind that I have a great relationship with the manager of my service department and he knows that I keep my cars pristine....those things may contribute to the ease with which I got my wheels replaced. Both were shot around 30k miles

Did you have the same damage as the OP or are you the OP?

I was whipping doughnuts in the parking and hit a light pole and now my rear quarter panel has premature wear and crumpling.
I'm pretty sure the BMW warranty is going to cover it. |

Don't see why BMW would cover it unless they're being super nice and have some extra steering wheels lying around. |

That's interesting, but I have had my previous m3 bolsters crack and tear after use. My nappa on the c63 also started to wear and dry l until I applied conditioner to stop it from further damage.

Needs some lotion to make it feel like a nice baby's ass and you can always give it a little spank after you rub the conditioner in. |
