BMW G60 G61: Leather colors, interior trim and repair
The BMW G60/G61 belongs to the 5 Series model range (approximately since 2023, depending on the variant and market). The correct leather color depends on the individual interior trim, not solely on the model series. The leather type, equipment code, color name, and actual condition must all match.
How do I find the right leather color?
- Determine your vehicle's equipment specifications using the vehicle data or original documents.
- Check the color name and leather type. An equipment code does not automatically guarantee a complete color formula.
- Compare to a less stressed area in daylight and pay attention to the gloss level.
- Check the available VILOU shades and test the application on an inconspicuous area.
Important: For this model series, a complete list of all color code/year combinations verified against BMW factory documents is not yet available. Therefore, we do not present any unconfirmed assignments as facts.

BMW G60 G61 steering wheel repair
If the color is worn off a black, suitable smooth leather steering wheel, targeted refinishing can be a good idea. Beforehand, check that the steering wheel is actually black and that the leather is compatible with the system.

Treat damages correctly
First, remove any soiling with a suitable leather cleaner. Color fading can be refreshed with thin coats of dye on appropriately pigmented smooth leather. Small, superficial cracks may require repair material; deep cracks and damaged seams require professional repair.
