Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is dedicated for installation in the front right position in the cabin, making it a perfect fit for the ergonomics of the passenger seat in the BMW E81/E82. The construction has been prepared as a replacement part for the factory backrest, which facilitates the service replacement of a damaged module without the need to interfere with other seat components.

The backrest comes from a BMW vehicle, which ensures the maintenance of proper geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with the factory seat heating system.

Construction, material, and color

The element is made of black leather upholstery, which allows for an aesthetic match to most BMW 1 Series interior configurations. Leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, durable, and easy-to-maintain material that withstands daily use well.

The backrest constitutes a complete load-bearing module of the seat part, integrated with the heating installation, and prepared to work with the vehicle's factory electrical harness.

Functionality of the heated backrest

The built-in backrest heating function improves driving comfort in low temperatures, accelerating the warming of the passenger's back and stabilizing the perceived temperature in the cabin. This solution will be especially appreciated by users covering longer distances and those who expect a higher standard of equipment from their BMW interior.

The backrest works with the factory seat heating controls, which allows for maintaining the original functionality and aesthetics of the control panel in the center console.

Condition, origin, and installation benefits

The offered item is used, which allows for an economical seat repair while maintaining original BMW quality. This type of component from disassembly is a good choice in situations where there has been mechanical damage to the backrest, abrasion of the upholstery, or a failure of the factory heating mat.

Replacing the backrest with an original module from the same vehicle generation facilitates installation for the workshop – the mounting points and electrical installation routing remain consistent with factory specifications, which shortens work time and reduces the risk of fitment issues.
