Purpose and fitment for BMW

The corner backrest is designed specifically for the rear cabin of the BMW E81/E82 series, intended for the left side. Thanks to the factory mounting geometry and the correct seat profile, it maintains proper back support for the passenger and compatibility with the original seat structure. Installation involves replacing the damaged backrest with this component, using the standard mounting points in the vehicle body.

Material and upholstery characteristics

The backrest is made of red leather upholstery, matching the factory Boston Coral Red finish used in sport-configured BMW interiors. The leather provides:

• a consistent look with the other rear seat elements,
• easier maintenance compared to fabric,
• a noticeably higher level of comfort in daily use.

Selecting the correct color and material is crucial when replacing a single seat segment, as it helps avoid differences in shade and texture between individual interior elements.

Function in the rear cabin

The rear seat corner backrest is responsible for stable support of the passenger sitting on the rear left side and for the aesthetic finish of the side interior. This element works with the other seat segments to create a uniform seating and backrest surface. A correctly selected backrest:

• ensures proper seat belt positioning,
• reduces wear on adjacent upholstery elements,
• maintains the factory character of the BMW interior.

Application in interior tuning and restoration

Due to its red leather finish, the backrest works perfectly for both standard repairs and visual cabin tuning. Replacing a worn or damaged element with an original backrest in the Boston Coral Red shade allows you to refresh the rear interior, improve visual appeal, and increase passenger comfort. It is a practical solution for users who want to maintain the characteristic, dynamic style of a BMW without altering the seat structure.

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

Support with selection and additional information

When selecting upholstery elements, it is crucial to pay attention to the vehicle placement, material type, and color to avoid installation and visual mismatches. For this corner backrest, all these parameters are clearly defined, which facilitates matching it to the specific configuration of a BMW 1 Series interior.
