Purpose and fitment for BMW E87

The presented backrest is a rear seat component intended for the right side of the rear interior in the BMW 1 Series E87 model. The design is engineered for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for the preservation of the original seat geometry. Consequently, replacing a damaged backrest with this component does not require structural modifications or interference with the seat frame.

Upholstery material and finish character

The backrest is made of leather upholstery, ensuring a durable, easy-to-maintain surface and consistency with the factory BMW interior finish. The Alaska Grey shade has been selected to harmonize with other cabin elements, such as door panels, headliners, or the center section of the seat. The leather provides a pleasant-to-touch material that is resistant to the typical operational loads of a rear seat, such as frequent occupancy or transporting luggage on the backrest after folding the seats.

Function in the rear seat and benefits of replacement

As an item in the Seats and benches category, this backrest plays a key role in the comfort of rear-seat passengers. Replacing a worn or damaged backrest with an original leather component allows you to:

• restore the aesthetics of the rear seat after scuffs, cracks, or discoloration,
• maintain color consistency of the interior in the grey shade,
• preserve the ergonomic shape of the backrest intended by the manufacturer,
• increase the visual appeal of the cabin when reselling the vehicle.

The product comes from dismantling, which allows for a combination of an attractive price and the preservation of original BMW specifications, without the need to use replacements with a different profile or material texture.

Condition, origin, and service application

The backrest is a used component, which in practice means it comes from a donor vehicle and has been verified for further use. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• local interior repairs after mechanical damage or flooding,
• partial renovation of the rear seat without the need to replace the entire set of seats,
• restoring the original interior configuration after modifications by previous owners.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and material, the backrest integrates well with the remaining elements of the rear seat, which is important both in terms of visual appearance and utility.

Comfort and visual aspect of the interior

The leather rear seat backrest has a direct impact on passenger comfort and the perception of interior quality. The Alaska Grey color optically brightens the cabin while remaining practical for daily use. The use of original BMW leather helps to minimize differences in texture and shade compared to other elements, which is particularly important during partial upholstery replacement.
