BMW G20: Selecting the right leather color
Color names can vary depending on the model year, leather type, trim level, and market. Therefore, check the equipment code or a protected original location. A consistent color name does not automatically guarantee the same undertone or gloss level on aged leather.
Different shades of black BMW leather are used depending on the type of leather and the equipment.
cognacWarm brown tone; assess the color sample after it has completely dried.
OysterLighter shade; remove all dirt and grime before dyeing.
TacorarotA strong red tone; use several very thin coats.
What solution is needed to address the damage?
Clean, degrease, carefully mattify and refresh with a thin coat of suitable BMW leather dye.
First, repair the damage using suitable repair material, then color-match and protect it.
Don't just dye over it. The material and structure should first be professionally assessed.
