Also - how quick is a 745e, WOW...!!! That initial acceleration is like warp drive!
It could have Merino leather, did you notice extra cover i.e. on the door pockets?

It’s more likely that your Nappa has gone shiny over time and needs a proper clean. Have you had it from new and noticed a difference over time? Mine needs a wipe over every couple of weeks and a deep clean 2-3 times a year to maintain the matte finish and softness.
I don't recall any extra leather coverage over the door pockets but can have a look again in the morning.

No only had mine a few months - a late 2017 bought AUC from BMW. What's involved in a deep leather clean?
