Purpose and fitment for BMW E91 LCI Touring

The presented backrest is a rear seat component mounted on the right side of the rear seat in a BMW 3 Series E91 LCI (facelift) Touring version. The structure is prepared for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications to the upholstery or frame.

The backrest is part of the Seats and benches category, making it perfectly suited to the factory interior architecture of the BMW, maintaining the correct seat geometry and ergonomics for rear passengers.

Material, color, and finish characteristics

The upholstery is made of genuine Dakota leather in black, which ensures a classic, subdued interior look and ease of matching with other cabin equipment elements. Dakota leather in BMW is known for its balanced durability and resistance to daily use, which is why it works well in cars used on a daily basis.

The black color of the upholstery allows for:

• seamless matching with factory front seats and other rear seat components,
• easier maintenance of visual interior cleanliness,
• a consistent look with factory door panels and headliner in darker configurations.

Function in the rear seat and passenger comfort

The rear backrest on the right side is responsible for stable back support for the passenger as well as proper routing of seat belts and folding mechanisms (if present in the car's specific configuration). Replacing a worn or damaged backrest with a functional part from the same model series allows you to:

• restore proper seating comfort on the right part of the rear seat,
• maintain the correct line and stiffness of the backrest across the entire width of the seat,
• keep the interior aesthetics at a level consistent with the BMW factory standard.

Thanks to the use of Dakota leather, the backrest works well with the factory seat foam, ensuring predictable material behavior during use.

Application in interior tuning and renovation

The BMW E91 LCI Touring rear backrest in Dakota Black leather is particularly useful for:

• interior renovation after mechanical damage or flooding,
• converting from fabric to leather upholstery in the Touring version,
• replacing missing elements after partial interior disassembly.

This solution allows you to refresh the cabin without the need to invest in a complete new set of seats, while maintaining the original BMW character.

Integration with other BMW seats and benches

When replacing one element of the rear seat, it is worth ensuring the consistency of the entire seat set. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the seating area in your BMW and need other parts from the same group, such as backrests, seat cushions, or complete seat modules, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and benches category.

Summary

BMW E91 LCI Seat Backrest Touring Rear Back Seat Right O/S Leather Dakota Black is a practical choice when replacing a damaged element or during a gradual interior upgrade. The leather upholstery in black, fitment to factory mounting points, and compliance with the stylistic line of the BMW 3 Series Touring allow you to restore the aesthetics and functionality of the rear seat without interfering with the vehicle's structure.
