The Dakota leather on the seat may be real leather, but the quality is really quite poor, because although it's leather, it appears to be a veneer attached to a backing fabric. If I get in my car and have a rear trouser pocket button fastened and showing, I have to be extremely careful because it's so easy to scuff the surface if I catch the leather side bolster of the driver's seat (right hand drive) with the button. I've done that a couple of times, but fortunately found a UK supplier on eBay who sells small bottles of a 'repair' product that is an excellent colour match to the BMW catalogue (a light beige) and covers the scuffs so well that you'd not notice they were there.
