Purpose and fitment for BMW F22

The backrest is designed as the left-side rear seat element, ensuring proper fitment with the body structure and factory mounting points. As a part of the Seats and benches category, it is an integral component of the seating system, working in conjunction with the other rear seat segments and seat belts.

Its original BMW origin guarantees the preservation of correct geometry, tilt angles, and compatibility with factory interior equipment, such as side panels, the center tunnel, or the rear parcel shelf.

Material and finish – Dakota Black leather

The upholstery is made of natural Dakota leather in black, used as a factory standard in many BMW equipment configurations. This type of leather is characterized by balanced stiffness, good abrasion resistance, and ease of cleaning, which is important for the daily use of the rear seat.

The black color scheme facilitates integration with most BMW F22 interior configurations, minimizing the visibility of minor dirt and ensuring a consistent, toned-down cabin look. At the same time, the leather surface improves the perceived comfort of passengers in the rear seat.

Function in the seating system and service application

The left rear seat backrest plays a key role in the rear row construction – it is responsible for supporting passengers' backs and forms part of the load-bearing structure for seat belt mounting and potential backrest folding systems. Replacement of this element is recommended in the case of:

• mechanical damage to the backrest structure,
• severe abrasions or cracks in the leather upholstery,
• post-accident repairs in the rear part of the vehicle,
• interior upgrades from fabric to Dakota leather.

Thanks to the use of an original backrest, it is possible to maintain the factory level of safety and ergonomics without the need for structural modifications.

Characteristics of the used element

The backrest comes from dismantling, which allows you to combine original BMW quality with a more favorable purchase cost compared to a new component. A used element is a good solution for post-accident repairs, interior renovation, or restoring the car to a state close to factory condition after intensive use.

Choosing an original, used rear seat backrest reduces the risk of fitment problems typical of aftermarket replacements and facilitates installation at a service center or workshop specializing in the BMW brand.

Integration with other BMW interior elements

The left rear seat backrest in Dakota Black leather works well with other seat modules, armrests, and door panels, creating a visually and functionally consistent set. In the case of a comprehensive cabin refresh, it is worth considering matching the other rear seat segments and front seats in terms of material and color to achieve a uniform visual effect.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear seat area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as seat cushions, center backrests, or headrests, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and benches category.
