Pics of the interior to follow once I have cleaned it up abit.
Would leather furniture wipes be a good way to clean the leather seats and trim?
As you can see, the headlight lenses need some lovin' care.
Key only turns in ignition when inserted one way

BMW did 3 different metallic blacks I think. The most popular one was Black Sapphire, but there was also Carbon Black (which has a blue hue in bright light) and Ruby Black (with a purple hue) as an Individual option.
The easiest way to find out is to go to a VIN decoding site, or open the bonnet and there will be a plate on the driver's side of the car detailing the VIN, build date, paint colour, etc.
I bought some leather wipes in Aldi for my seats and they worked fine.
Great news about the keys too.

Thanks Mr Tidy, it would appear mine is Ruby black or ' rubinschwarz' - I like it!Mr Tidy said:
I will check out those leather wipes in Aldi. I gave the plastics a wipe over with some sugar soap and light coat of dash protector. Wipes took some nasty black and brown muck off!

Funny you should say that, the v5 states blue!Mr Tidy said:
I'm not sure if it is some sort of admin error. I checked the chassis and engine numbers before parting with cash and all is correct. I am in two minds wether it is worth even trying to correct it!
Baby wipes added to the shopping list!
