Purpose and vehicle placement

The backrest is designed for installation in the rear of the cabin, on the right side, in the BMW 5 Series E61 touring model. Its placement in the rear seat area means this component is responsible for the comfort of the passenger sitting on the right side and for providing stable back support while driving. Thanks to its factory-engineered geometry, the backrest fits the original mounting points, which facilitates installation and eliminates the need for additional modifications.

Material and finish

The backrest is made of leather upholstery in a black finish, characteristic of premium BMW interiors. Leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch yet durable material that withstands daily use, frequent entry and exit, and the typical loads placed on a rear seat. The uniform color makes it easy to match with other interior elements, such as seat cushions, door panels, or the center console.

Functional characteristics

As an item in the Seats and benches category, this right rear backrest plays a key role in the ergonomics of the rear cabin. The design, intended for a specific BMW model, ensures:

• proper back support angle for the passenger,
• stable seating within the rear seat structure,
• a consistent look with the other seats in the vehicle.

Leather upholstery helps keep the interior clean – the surface can be cleaned with dedicated leather care products, allowing it to maintain an aesthetic appearance for a long time.

Condition and service application

The backrest is a salvaged part and is intended for users who need to replace a damaged rear seat component, e.g., due to wear, spills, or mechanical damage. Choosing an original leather backrest allows you to maintain the factory stylistic line of the interior and avoid differences in shade or material texture compared to the other seats.

Interior integration and aesthetic aspects

By installing this right rear leather backrest, you restore the visual consistency of the rear cabin, which is important both for daily use and for the potential resale of the vehicle. Black leather blends well with most BMW E61 interior color configurations, creating an orderly, understated passenger space. This solution is particularly beneficial for those who want to renew the interior without investing in a complete set of seats.
