Be very careful with Magic Eraser!
I used the ME on my E90 sport wheel for the same reason expressed by others here. Sort of at the "nothing to lose" stage. While it did a great job on most of the rim... on the section where a previous owner caused a lot of wear (looks like scratches from rings) the finish has clearly been taken off.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned:
I wasn't being particularly careful about hitting the spoke-trim-button-cover-thingy and the ME hitting it very lightly, just a few times, has caused the "soft touch" coating to peel a bit.
OK... time for a new wheel! If anyone in the Orlando/Melbourne area has any compatible wheel for sale (2008 E09 w/ paddles), please let me know!
Has anyone had a wheel re-covered by an upholstery shop? I was thinking that a good shop could wrap right over the existing leather, making the rim just a tad fatter in the process.
