I have been using Autoglym leather cleaner and conditioner.
I prefer Autoglym because it dries well, leaving a matte finish to the seats... like they had from the factory.
Many leather conditioners leave the seats shiny, or even wet looking. I don't like this at all. The Autoglym never does this, however.

I have used the product BMW sells at the dealer with good results. It's a kit including applicator etc.
I have used it once since I got the car.

I clean and condition about every 2-3 months.
But I have black seats... which are easy to maintain.
If I had the gray color, I'd probably clean more often. I have seen how bad gray seats can look when dirty.

I have used the BMW leather cleaner too. How often do you clean the seats? As necessary? Or on a schedule?

The BMW brand cleaner is similar to Autoglym, in that it dries to a matte finish.... not shiny.

Same here, once since I got the car. Over due for another cleaning, but with the disruption from Katrina, it's pretty low on the priority list...
