Purpose and fitment for the BMW 1 Series

The presented backrest is part of the Seats and Benches category, specifically designed for the rear seat of the facelifted (LCI) BMW E81/E87. Its placement on the right side of the rear bench ensures a proper fit with the remaining seat segments and interior door cards. Thanks to its factory origin, the shape, mounting points, and upholstery lines remain consistent with the original BMW design, which facilitates installation and eliminates fitment issues.

Color and fabric finish

The grey color of the rear backrest upholstery is characteristic of many BMW 1 Series interior configurations, making it easy to visually match with the existing bench and other cabin elements. The fabric finish provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, visually neutral appearance that blends well with both dark and light interior panels. This type of backrest is ideal for daily-driven vehicles where durability, ease of cleaning, and maintaining a consistent, factory-original character are prioritized.

Characteristics of the used component

The backrest comes from a vehicle dismantling process, meaning it is a used part that remains functional and suitable for further use. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing damaged upholstery, or restoring an interior to a condition close to original after heavy wear. Choosing an original, used rear backrest allows you to maintain structural compatibility with factory BMW equipment while reducing costs compared to purchasing new seat sets.

Benefits of using an original rear backrest

Using an original rear backrest on the right side in a BMW E81/E87 LCI offers a number of practical benefits:

• preservation of the factory look and ergonomics of the rear cabin area,
• reliable fitment to the body structure and seat mounting system,
• color and material consistency with other interior elements,
• cost-effective repair compared to replacing the entire bench.

Thanks to this solution, you can effectively restore passenger comfort in the rear while keeping the interior to the manufacturer's standards.
