Purpose and fitment

The backrest is dedicated to the rear seat on the right side in the BMW 3 Series E91 generation touring (LCI) body style. Thanks to the factory construction geometry, the correct mounting points, tilt angle, and seat split line are preserved, which facilitates installation and ensures proper compatibility with the remaining seat components.

The item belongs to the Seats and benches group, which means it has been designed for full integration with the vehicle's seating system – both in terms of mechanics and visuals.

Material and finish

The upholstery is made of genuine leather, which translates into a pleasant-to-touch surface and the characteristic premium look of a BMW interior. The black leather blends well with most factory equipment configurations, making it easy to aesthetically match the other cabin elements.

The leather rear seat backrest provides:

• a consistent look with factory BMW upholstery,
• easier maintenance compared to textile materials,
• a surface resistant to daily use, suitable for a family or fleet car.

Functionality in the rear cabin

The backrest mounted on the rear right side is responsible for passenger comfort and stable back support during travel. The construction is prepared to work with standard seat folding mechanisms, which allows for maintaining the functionality of the cargo space and the ability to expand it by folding the backrest.

By maintaining the original form, the element fits well into the side line of the interior, without causing play or unnatural gaps between adjacent seat segments.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The backrest comes from the used parts segment, which allows for a significant reduction in interior repair costs while maintaining the original origin of the component. Choosing such a solution is particularly beneficial in the case of localized damage – abrasions, cracks, or deformations of one fragment of the seat – when there is no need to replace the entire set of seats.

By using an original rear seat backrest, you minimize the risk of fitment issues typical of aftermarket replacements and maintain the visual and structural consistency of the BMW interior.

Interior expansion and tuning

If you are planning a broader cabin modernization, replacing the backrest can be the first step to refreshing the entire seat set. Leather upholstery works well with other premium equipment elements, such as sports seats, a multifunction steering wheel, or decorative trim strips.
