Purpose and fitment for BMW E91 LCI Touring

The presented seat backrest has been designed specifically for the rear interior of the BMW 3 Series E91 LCI Touring, intended for the left side. The construction is compatible with the factory mounting system, which facilitates installation in place of the original component without the need for modifications to the upholstery or frame. By maintaining the correct shape and geometry of the backrest, it is possible to achieve a proper fit with the seat cushion, the middle section of the bench, and the luggage compartment side panels.

Upholstery material – Dakota Oyster leather

The backrest is finished with Dakota leather upholstery in a light Oyster shade, characteristic of premium BMW interiors. This type of leather is distinguished by:

• a uniform, slightly grained structure that blends well with other cockpit elements,
• appropriate thickness and rigidity, promoting stable back support for passengers,
• ease of routine maintenance using standard automotive leather care products.

As a result, the backrest helps maintain a consistent look for the rear seat, while the light Oyster color visually brightens the interior and improves the sense of spaciousness.

Function and comfort of use

The rear seat backrest on the left side plays a key role in the daily use of the vehicle, providing stable support for the passenger and proper shaping of the luggage space. This component:

• maintains the proper rigidity of the rear seat structure,
• ensures a comfortable seating position while driving,
• influences the aesthetics of the rear cabin, especially in vehicles with a light interior.

Replacing a worn or damaged backrest with an original leather component allows you to restore travel comfort and a consistent appearance to the rear seat without the need for costly upholstery renovation of the entire set.

Characteristics of the used component

The backrest comes from disassembly, which means it is a used part that retains the factory BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, replacing individual seat modules, or completing an interior after modifications. A used part allows for maintaining a reasonable cost level while offering an original fit to the vehicle's construction.

Impact on aesthetics and vehicle value

Using an original backrest in Dakota Oyster leather helps maintain color and material consistency in the interior, which is significant both visually and for potential vehicle resale. A well-maintained set of leather upholstery is often perceived as an asset, increasing the vehicle's attractiveness on the secondary market. Replacing a single backrest module is therefore a practical way to improve the overall perception of the cabin without interfering with the entire seat.
