Purpose and fitment

The backrest is designed for installation in the rear right section of the seat in the BMW 3 Series E91, ensuring it maintains the factory geometry and seat ergonomics. The construction corresponds to the original BMW design, which facilitates installation in place of the existing component without the need for modifications to the upholstery or mounts. Such a fit allows for maintaining the consistency of the seat lines, proper operation of the folding mechanisms, and the correct passenger position.

Material and finish

The upholstery is made of genuine leather in Lemon color, characteristic of light, elegant BMW interior configurations. The leather provides a smooth, pleasant-to-touch material that works well with other cabin equipment elements, such as door panels or seat cushions. The light shade visually improves the spaciousness of the interior while emphasizing the more exclusive character of the cabin.

As an original component, the backrest retains the correct profile, embossing, and upholstery divisions, which is crucial when replacing a single seat segment – after installation, the whole looks consistent, with no differences in shape or stitching lines.

Characteristics of the used component

The backrest comes from the secondary market, making it an economical solution for interior repair. A used component allows for cost reduction compared to a new part, while maintaining the original BMW specification. It is a good solution in situations such as:

• replacing the backrest after mechanical damage or flooding,
• restoring the completeness of the interior after disassembly or modifications,
• renovating the cabin while maintaining the factory color and leather texture.

Thanks to the preservation of the original construction, the backrest works with factory mounting points and seat folding mechanisms, which facilitates installation in a specialized service or a workshop dealing with BMW interiors.

Benefits of using an original rear seat

Using an original BMW rear seat backrest allows for maintaining the visual and functional consistency of the interior. Compared to upholstery replacements or modifications, the factory component ensures:

• a shape and profile consistent with the design,
• a uniform line with the remaining seat segments,
• proper operation of folding mechanisms and locks,
• aesthetic matching of the Lemon Leather color to the rest of the upholstery.

This is particularly important in cars where maintaining the original interior configuration counts – both from the point of view of passenger comfort and the vehicle's value on the secondary market.
