As a part from the Other seat parts group, the backrest can be used in renovation projects where visual and functional matching to other seat components and the entire cabin is crucial.

Condition, selection and installation

The backrest is offered as a used item, which allows for an economical restoration of seat functionality while maintaining the original BMW specification. Before installation, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the vehicle configuration, particularly regarding the seat type, heating installation, and interior equipment.

Part selection should be based on vehicle data and manufacturer markings, which minimizes the risk of incompatibility. A properly matched backrest facilitates installation and allows for maintaining full functionality of the heating system and seat ergonomics.
