Need help/advice 2013 M5

Hey all - I recently purchased a 2013 M5 that was a CPO. The car is great, after following the progression of a 335, 535, then a550i... This M5 is the real deal! With that said, the previous owner didn't seem to maintain his car like I did mine and the steering wheel and the arm rest are pretty scratched/dinged up. Any advice as to how to rejuvenate them without having to totally replace them? Especially the steering wheel...

Thanks in advance!

The interior leather is easy to scratch especially the steering wheels.

Try a suitable leather feed for automotive leather (BMW sells there own product so you will know its safe plus it smells nice) if this doesn't work take it to a leather expert.

Get Leatherique rejuvenator and cleaner. It works great and is worth the price. Here is one of examples of the drivers' seat, before and after one use. I let it soak in a hot car for about 1.5 days.
