I have actually used a really soft toothbrush working it for sometime to get it clean... Is that not a good idea? Your leather may be different than mine, Im thinking due to the fact that mine has 90k miles, Not sure. This is my second Bimmer and Im far from a guru when it comes to knowing the basics for cleaning the interior. The glove box and surrounding area are leather Im assuming but it is really weird feeling. Not sure how to clean it either. Soft cloth and soapy water, and/or leather cleaner? dunno... I think Im gonna pull out the manual and fill in some blanks. That said, sorry for yacking so much, any suggestions would be appreciated... thx

You can try the BMW proprietary leather products:

I use the BMW products-very happy with it and use it on non-BMW vehicles too. Once it is finished - I will probably choose one of the above. For older leather - the Leatherique also scored good write-ups on various forums.
Hope this helps!
