In my case a lot of my experiences come from perpetually maintaining/restoring my 1998 E39 which I had until a year ago. After that many years/miles it's not just frappacinos Other than some driver's seat wear, others described it as very "showroom" until the end. Off topic: the people posting about 2007s being too old to be reliable and worrying about 45k being "high mileage" make me chuckle in that context. |

Ok, I had the same problem with my M3 steering wheel...shiny in certain areas. This weekend, all I did is moisten a microfiber towel with HOT water and gave a few passes around the steering wheel. I was amazed at the difference it made and how much dirt and contamination came out on the towel. I'd say its about 90% better than it was before...nice matte feel
I used some type of trim restorer before which did nothing. So before attacking it with cleaning products, just a simple hot towel can do the trick |

Plain water, a microfiber, and some elbow grease, gets it pretty clean but the conditioners softened it quite a bit, and made it more resilient/less likely to scratch. |
