This is just surface scratch. Get some good quality leather dye, and dab it with a q-tip, then wipe clean and condition.

Just to clarify, I should buy the LEATHERIQUE DYE for the type of scratches that I have? Right? Also did anyone here use this product in Black Color? Is it close to the original black leather that we have? Thanks

Is the Black Leather interior in the E60 Black or Dark Grey? I want to make sure that I have the right match otherwise it will look odd wherever I'm touching it up. Thanks

Being that you have BLACK leather if it were me I would try black shoe polish before buying any of the products out there. Good luck
cheers
