I think that’s what BMW refer to as Beige.

The only other cream/beige shade would be Lotus White which invariably discolours to cream. But you won’t get that in extended leather.

Don’t forget easy to recolour something to your shade. I can advise if you get to that point - just PM me.

Thanks MrCalex . . .i think this was a bad modification from a former life. Mmm, might have to remove, match with a suitable colour leather and cover myself by the sounds if it.

I replaced min with a cover from eBay, fitment was spot on and came with the correct stitching. It cost £30, but have gone up since, if you drop them a message they would probably make a beige one for you. This is the one I bought, but asked for the stitching in the correct place which they did. They do the whole cover here also (shows correct stitching). I can't see why they wouldn't do a beige one as they do the handbrake and gear gaitors, might be a slightly different shade but you can always dye it to colour match.

Got the sample colours incoming, thanks for the point!

Much better doing it this way then buying second hand as most of the original ones will be very dry and they are prone to shrinking
You’re spot one there, 2 other parts have shrunk on the dash so if this works then there may be a solution for the next issue. You can see bothe the passenger side and drivers requires some tlc!

Interested to see how this turns out, as my extended leather has shrunk over the instrument cluster and the passenger airbag.
