Leather dye for E90 D3 interior??

Post by P14KLE » Fri Jun 17, 2022 10:05 pm

Has anyone sucessfully found a correct match for the grey Leather found in 2007 E90 D3 ??

I have got the following info from a dealer
Cloth/ Leather Citrus Quartz Grey FFB6.

I have the half leather and need to touch up the side bolster, but cannot find reference to this colour code anywhere that sells Leather Dyes/kits..

Have tried Dakota Grey but this is far too light to match.

Cheers

Where did you try?

I usually drop an email/message to John at Bespoke Leathering they haven’t failed for me in the past, the leather can fade though from factory.

John started off with us back on the E36 Coupe forum days so has a long history of BMW leather care and restoration.

I have used Gliptone in the past. They do a colour matching service. You might need to send them a sample of the leather from under the seat.
