dash on 135i --use leather conditioner?

What material is the dashboard on the 135i? Is it good to use leather conditioner on it? If not, what should I use?

It's plastic, unless you put in the Alcantera dash scoop. 303 Aerospace protectant is fantastic for everything plastic. It's basically sunscreen for you dash. You'll find plenty of other uses for it, too.

Most people tend to use either einszett cockpit premium or aerospace 303. I've used einszett cockpit premium, works great, leaves completely no finish at all, but some don't like the smell, while others DO (kinda smells like pine sol).

Its fake leather but I still use Zanio Leather in a Bottle. Darkens/deepens the color, no shine, repels dust for a month or two, uv protection and nice smell.

I've always used Vinylex and thought it works quite well... And it sorta makes the car smell like a new car, I think.

I'm actually using Auto Finesse Spritz now on all the interior and leatherette as it works pretty much like cockpit premium but smells really nice with a vanilla scent to it. Darn detailersdomain and their amazing jobs and fancy products!
