    Default Is the dash leather

    I need to know if the dash and door coverings on my 93 525i are leather. I am going to clean them and not sure whether to use leather cleaner or vinyle cleaner.
    Thanks

    All the dash is vinyl, same with the doors.

    Some later model doors have a leather door card insert.

    You should be able to tell if the dash or door is vinyl or not -- leather ones have stitches and seams.

    It could be leather, you should be able to tell by the stitches though. Dont use armor-all though!!!

    The handle and armrest part of the door are leather, at least on my car, all the rest is vinyl.
