Those aren't marks. They are very small tears in the leather... Not sure it's repairable but I'm not an expert...

WHS, looks like your finger nail or something scratched the wheel.

I did the same thing to the wheel on my 135i by catching a button on a pair of cargo shorts on the underside of the wheel as I was sliding into the car... Ended up replacing the wheel.

It was offending my OCD and it was a good excuse to get an M3 wheel

I have the same thing on my wheel. My damage was caused by an ignorant employee at Discount Tire with a watch. I took it to a shop and was told they could fix it. If I dismount the steering wheel myself $100 is what I was quoted but it was only one 2 inch abrasion. Good luck!
