Purpose and fitment for BMW E91 Touring

The backrest is intended for installation in the rear cabin, on the left side, in the BMW 3 Series E91 Touring estate body style. The component is an integral part of the rear seat, providing proper back support for passengers and compatibility with factory mounting points. By maintaining the original geometry of the structure, it is possible to achieve a correct fit with the seat base, seat belts, and upholstery side panels.

Material and finish – Dakota Terra leather

The upholstery is made of natural Dakota leather in the Terra color, characteristic of selected BMW interior configurations. This type of leather is distinguished by its uniform texture, good resistance to daily use, and ease of cleaning. The backrest allows for maintaining color consistency of the rear seat, which is particularly important when partially replacing interior elements.

The leather surface provides a pleasant tactile feel, and the properly contoured structure of the backrest supports a comfortable position for passengers during city and highway driving. It is a practical solution for drivers who want to restore the aesthetics of the interior after mechanical damage or wear and tear.

Function in the seat and bench system

As an element of the Seats and benches category, the rear backrest plays a key role in the ergonomics of the rear cabin. It is responsible for:

• stable back support for passengers on the left side of the rear seat,
• proper completion of the seat base structure and the middle segment of the bench,
• maintaining a consistent visual line of the upholstery throughout the entire rear interior,
• preserving the functionality of the factory backrest folding system (if present in the vehicle's specific configuration).

By using an original dismantled part, it is possible to restore the proper operation of the seating system without the need to adapt aftermarket replacements.

Characteristics of the used component

The backrest comes from dismantling, which means it is a used part that retains the factory BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery elements, or restoring a car to a state close to the original. A used element allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original construction and material.

Expansion and modernization of the BMW interior

Replacing a single backrest is often the first step toward a broader cabin transformation.
