Need advice - initial leather conditioning

I got my 325i with beige leather interior 2.5 weeks ago. I did not go for the dealer's leather conditioning (bad experience with other cars).
What is a good product to treat the leather now, and what should I be doing as regular maintenance for the leather?

Leatherique works pretty well. I applied it a few months after taking delivery and really didn't see a difference, but then I applied it again this past weekend after having the car for almost a year and there is a marked difference. It is very time consuming and extremely expensive (you learn how to conserve it after your first use), but I was actually surprised by the results I just got. It felt less "dry", the "butt" wrinkles were reduced and the shiny spots on the sides dissapeared. Buy at least 32oz bottles, that should last you probably 4 applications.

I would clean with Zaino as needed, but condition at least once a month with Zaino leather conditioner.
