Purpose and compatibility with BMW 1 Series E87

The presented headrest has been designed for BMW 1 Series E87 sports seats, which guarantees a proper fit to the backrest structure and stable mounting on the guides. This ensures an ergonomic head position is maintained, and the interior remains consistent with the manufacturer's original design.

The item belongs to the Other seat parts group, allowing it to be treated as a supplement or a replacement for a single component within the seat without the need to interfere with the entire seat structure.

Color and material finish

The headrest is made of fabric in a grey shade, matching the factory Alaskagrau Grey Flashpoint finish used in the BMW 1 Series E87. This makes it possible to maintain a uniform upholstery color, which is important both for aesthetic reasons and when replacing only one seat element.

The material structure has been selected for daily use – the fabric is pleasant to the touch while being resistant to typical wear and tear resulting from using a headrest in a premium compact car.

Safety and comfort function

The front seat headrest plays an important role in protecting the cervical spine while driving. The properly selected shape and height adjustment capability allow the position to be adapted to the user's physique, which increases comfort on longer trips and improves the ergonomics of the driving position.

In the case of replacing a damaged or worn element, using an original headrest from the BMW 1 Series E87 helps maintain the protection and comfort parameters intended by the manufacturer, without compromising on fit or mounting stability.

Characteristics of the used part

The offered headrest is a used part, sourced from disassembly, which is a sensible solution when repairing or completing the interior of an older BMW 1 Series E87. This type of component allows for cost reduction compared to new parts, while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications.

Choosing a used headrest is particularly beneficial when consistency of the upholstery is desired, and also when the availability of new elements is limited or economically unjustified.
