Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is a component from the Seats and benches group, specifically designed for the rear interior of the BMW E81/E87 series after the LCI facelift. Its placement on the left side of the vehicle ensures proper alignment with the seat base, seat belts, and other bench assembly components.

Thanks to the factory-spec geometry, the backrest maintains the correct rigidity, tilt angle, and mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for seamless integration with existing interior elements.

Material and finish

The backrest is covered in black leather upholstery, characteristic of premium BMW interiors. The leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, smooth material that withstands daily use well and is easy to keep clean.

The uniform color finish allows for an aesthetic match with other cabin elements – front seats, door panels, and the center section of the bench. This is particularly important when replacing a single segment, where maintaining a consistent, factory-original interior look is a priority.

Functionality and user comfort

The rear seat backrest is crucial for passenger comfort and stable back support during travel. The design, adapted for the BMW E81/E87 LCI, enables the proper operation of the seat folding mechanisms (if present in the vehicle's configuration) and compatibility with factory mounts.

The leather surface promotes cleanliness – dirt can be removed using dedicated leather care products, allowing you to maintain the interior's aesthetics for a longer time. It is a practical choice for users who value a combination of comfort, durability, and elegant appearance.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The backrest comes from the used BMW parts market, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to purchasing a new component, while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing an original, used part also provides greater certainty of fitment than many aftermarket replacements.

If you are considering a broader cabin upgrade and want to better understand how to utilize used upholstery and equipment elements, it is worth checking out the guide Car interior tuning with Global Parts, which describes practical applications for seats and other second-hand components.

Interior expansion and related components

When replacing the rear seat backrest, it is often planned to refresh other elements from the same group to achieve a consistent visual and functional effect. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear seat area in your BMW and need other components from the same group, such as seat bases, center segments, or additional backrests, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and benches category.
