BMW interiors use several materials: Sensatec leatherette, Dakota and Vernasca leather on many models, and soft Merino leather in higher trims and BMW Individual cars. Dubai’s sun and heat dry out and fade leather, and getting in and out wears the driver’s seat bolster first. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we clean, repair, recolour and protect BMW seats, and retrim worn panels and steering wheels, matching the original colour and grain so the repair blends in.
We identify whether your seats are leather or Sensatec, and check how deep the wear, cracks or tears go.
We match the colour to your BMW interior code, such as Black, Cognac, Ivory White or Mocha, and adjust the mix for fading.
The leather is deep-cleaned and degreased so repairs and colour bond properly, especially on perforated and ventilated seats.
Cracks are filled and sanded smooth, small tears are repaired from behind, and badly worn bolsters can be replaced with new matching leather.
Flexible leather colour is applied in thin coats and finished with the right sheen, from matt to satin.
A protective top coat helps resist UV, jeans dye transfer and wear.
We check colour, texture and finish in daylight and make sure seat heating, ventilation and airbags are untouched.
We never cover or stitch over seat airbag seams, so your BMW’s safety systems are not affected.
Most wear can be repaired and recoloured in a day. If the leather has split or worn through, we replace just that panel with matching leather rather than the whole seat cover, which is much cheaper than a new seat from BMW.
Use a sunshade, avoid harsh household cleaners, and clean and condition the leather every three months. Light-coloured interiors benefit from a protective coating against dye transfer. For headliners, trims and other interior parts, see our BMW interior refurbishment service.
