A good leather person can dye the leather to a near match.

Exactly right, those guys can do amazing work. I had this done on my steering wheel of my Land Rover. The trick is finding someone near you. Alot of these guys work out of a truck so they are mobile. They also do this same service on the leather seats of interiors of private aircraft, if that helps your google search. try "Leather Restoration".

on my black seats i jsut used black shoe polish the wax kind. It came out very very nice. JSut have to make sure you buff really well so that it is rubbed in and wont stain your clothes.

I would second the comment to try to find a good leather person. One problem with dyeing the leather seats on a BMW (or for that matter most all modern cars with leather seats) is that the leather is coated with a polyurethane coating to seal in the oils inherent after the tanning process and make sure that spills can't stain the leather. This makes it hard to re-dye because the PU coating will prevent the dye from actually reaching the leather. A good leather person - especially one familiar with the leather used in modern cars - should know how best to repair scratches that may in fact have damaged the PU coating.
