Purpose and fitment for BMW X5 X6

The presented headrest is designed for the front sport seat in the BMW X5 E70 and BMW X6 E71. The construction has been developed for the factory rails and adjustment mechanisms in these models, which allows for maintaining the correct seat geometry and proper adjustment of the height and angle of head support. As a result, this component serves as a functional addition to the original seat without the need for modifications or adaptations.

Construction and function of the electric headrest

The headrest is equipped with an electric adjustment mechanism, which allows for precise positioning within the range provided by the manufacturer. Integration with the sport seat's electrical system allows for convenient control via the seat adjustment buttons, which improves ergonomics and makes it easier to adjust the position to the user's height. This solution supports comfort during long journeys and also helps in correctly positioning the head relative to the backrest.

Leather finish and beige color scheme

The outer layer of the headrest is made of natural leather in beige, matched to the light interiors of the BMW X5 and X6. This type of finish provides a pleasant-to-the-touch material that is easy to maintain daily and resistant to typical operational wear. The beige tone allows for consistency with the factory sport seat upholstery, ensuring the component does not visually stand out from the other seat parts.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item comes from disassembly and is offered as a used original BMW part. This type of component is suitable both for replacing a damaged headrest and for completing a sport seat in the case of a conversion from a different seat version. Its original origin ensures proper fitment with the rails, seat frame, and upholstery, which is important for maintaining factory safety and comfort standards.

How to choose the right headrest for a sport seat

When selecting a headrest for a BMW X5 E70 or X6 E71, it is worth paying attention to several technical aspects:

• compatibility with the seat version (front sport),
• type of adjustment (electric),
• upholstery color (beige, matched to the interior),
• finish type (leather, consistent with the rest of the seat).

This approach facilitates maintaining a uniform cabin appearance and the proper operation of all seat adjustment functions.
