Purpose and fitment

The presented backrest is dedicated to the rear bench on the right side in the BMW 1 Series E87 model. Its placement in the rear of the interior makes this component responsible for passenger comfort and stable back support, as well as maintaining the proper geometry of the bench.

Thanks to a design consistent with factory BMW standards, the backrest integrates with the existing bench, mounts, and folding mechanisms, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional upholstery or bodywork modifications.

Construction and upholstery material

The backrest is manufactured based on the factory BMW design, using textile material upholstery. The fabric ensures breathability, stable back support, and a neutral, practical finish that works well in everyday use.

The structure of the backrest is prepared to work with the standard bench, which allows for maintaining visual and functional consistency in the rear interior – both in terms of shape, stitching lines, and overall seat ergonomics.

Functional characteristics of the component

The rear right backrest is responsible for:

• providing stable back support for the rear passenger,
• maintaining the proper profile and rigidity of the rear bench,
• preserving the consistent look of the BMW E87 interior after replacing a damaged part,
• enabling continued use of the backrest folding function (if present in the vehicle configuration).

The component comes from the Seats and benches segment, which means it was designed with passenger safety and comfort in mind, and its geometry is adapted to the factory BMW interior architecture.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The backrest is a used part, which allows for an economical replacement while maintaining original BMW build quality. Choosing such a solution is a compromise between cost and maintaining factory fitment, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs or interior restoration.
