Try some Autoglym Interior shampoo, use a soft brush to agitate then wipe away with microfibre cloth, should come up clean.

I know what you mean. I could not get mine clean so i got a colour spray kit & sprayed it. I has come out like new.
The kit cost £120 & took me 2 days to do. Well werth it.

Hello mate ill tell you the BEST way as i have an E30 M3 Cream INTERIOR hot kettle water and i mean HOT,clean the leather with normal water first take the dirt off then abit of salt in the hot water and also tiny bit of fairy liquid lemon one that is and then rub it down bit by bit with soft toothbrush not to hard and then hot steam it with a towel in the microwave about 3 minutes and then watch the dirt come off BANG job done,i know this sounds really silly what i just told but my dad used to have a furniture factory before so i watched the tricks of the trade as they said done and it does do the job may be not 101% but 89% of the time job is good if you doing it right then go halfords and buy MCGUIRES leather shampoo and auto glym leather cream and then your fixed up and ready to go.

Hi
Go to www.furnitureclinic.co.uk . I have done two cars, my e30 & a morgan v8. The morgan was a colour change job & i was well pleased with the job. You would never of known it had deen changed. You can get a filler for the cracking which is flexable, i had to use on mine , it is werth every penny.
Good luck.
