Purpose and compatibility with BMW E90/E91 LCI

The presented backrest is designed for installation on the front right seat of a facelifted BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation. The support structure, mounting points, and foam shape are consistent with BMW factory solutions, which facilitates transferring the component to the existing seat frame and integrating it with the original rails and adjustment mechanisms.

The backrest is dedicated to versions with seat heating, allowing you to retain the heating function without the need to modify the vehicle's electrical installation, provided the car is factory-equipped with this option.

Materials and finish – Dakota leather in black

The upholstery is made of black Dakota leather, used as standard in many BMW equipment configurations. This type of leather is characterized by a tactile texture and good resistance to daily wear, which is important for vehicles used on a daily basis. The uniform black finish makes it easy to match the backrest to most E90/E91 LCI interiors maintained in dark color schemes.

The leather surface is easy to keep clean – dirt can be removed using dedicated leather care products, which helps maintain the interior's aesthetics for longer.

Heating function and comfort of use

The built-in backrest heating improves driving comfort in colder conditions, especially during daily commutes and longer trips. Using an original dismantled component ensures compatibility with factory controllers and seat heating control panels in the BMW.

As a structural part of the seat, the backrest also influences the passenger's ergonomic position – the properly contoured foam and shape of the backrest support the back, which translates into stable support during highway and city driving.

Characteristics of the used component

The backrest comes from a used vehicle, making it a cost-effective solution for repairing or replacing a damaged seat. The original character of the BMW finish is preserved, and the component itself can be a good base both for direct installation and for potential further upholstery restoration if the user is planning a comprehensive interior refresh.

Interior expansion and related components

When replacing the backrest, it is worth paying attention to the consistency of the entire seat set – selecting elements from the same trim line makes it easier to maintain a uniform cabin look. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the seating area in your BMW and need other items from the same group, such as backrests, seat cushions, or complete seat modules, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and benches category.
