having removed the tacky BMW logo stickers from the rear head leather rests (black) they've left a nasty adhesive on them. I've tried zymol and also liquid leather cleaner and conditioner but to no avail

fairy liquid? test on a small patch first
upholstery cleaner? as above
WD40!! no need to test it will remove the adhesive, then try 1 or 2 to remove the stain!

Heat it with a hair dryer and pick at it gently.

Try some Autoglym tar remover on a cloth, and have some fairy liquid at hand to remove the tar remover. A quick rub with the tar remover then fairy should do the trick. treat the leather afterwards because more than likely you will remove what ever protection is on it, what ever method you use.

You could try sulphuric acid. That bumps anything off! 
But, you wouldn't do your leather any good.
Joke aside, I hope you find what you need, maybe a dab of petrol may help??
Good luck.
