Purpose and fitment for BMW E90 LCI

The presented rear seat backrest has been designed specifically for the facelifted (LCI) BMW E90 body style, ensuring proper fitment of shape, mounting points, and styling lines to the factory interior configuration. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle ensures compatibility with the stock bench seat, seat belts, and upholstery side panels.

Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry and mounting points, the installation of the backrest is straightforward and does not require structural modifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacement after wear and tear, or restoring the interior to a near-factory condition.

Upholstery material and color

The backrest is made of textile upholstery, which promotes stable passenger support and reduces clothing slippage while driving. The structure of the vertex fabric is practical for daily use and withstands typical operational loads well.

The neutral grey color facilitates integration with most factory interior configurations of the BMW E90 LCI, whether in more subdued versions or those combined with dark cockpit elements. This color scheme helps maintain a uniform cabin aesthetic while being less prone to showing minor dirt compared to very light shades.

Performance characteristics and application

The rear seat backrest plays a key role in the comfort and safety of rear passengers. The stable construction provides proper back support, and the precise fit to the body shell ensures correct seat belt routing and interaction with other interior components.

The item is particularly suitable for the following applications:

• interior repair after mechanical damage or flooding,
• replacement of a worn, frayed, or soiled backrest,
• restoring the original interior configuration after modifications,
• budget-friendly cabin refreshment projects using used parts.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing used parts

The backrest comes from the secondary market, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to new components. Choosing a used original part is often a reasonable compromise between price and build quality, especially in the case of upholstery and interior equipment.

For many BMW 3 Series users, maintaining consistency in materials and textures within the interior is important – using an original vertex fabric backrest helps maintain a uniform cabin character without the need to replace the entire bench seat.
