Purpose and fitment

The seat backrest is designed specifically for the rear left seating area in post-facelift (LCI) BMW 1 Series E81/E87 models. The construction is based on factory mounting points, allowing for installation in place of the original component without the need for structural modifications. This ensures full compatibility with standard seat belts, latches, and other rear seat segments.

Material and finish

The upholstery is made of genuine black Boston leather, used as a factory standard in many BMW interior configurations. This type of leather is characterized by a uniform texture and a subtle, elegant look that fits well with the styling of compact-class BMW interiors. The black color scheme facilitates integration with other cabin elements, such as door panels, the center console, or the headliner, and also helps mask typical signs of wear.

Functionality in daily use

The rear seat backrest plays an important role in both passenger comfort and safety. The properly contoured structure supports the backs of rear passengers, and the leather surface makes it easy to keep clean – dirt can be removed using dedicated leather care products. Using an original component from the Seats and benches category allows you to maintain factory ergonomics and visual consistency of the interior.

Characteristics of the used part

The offered component comes from disassembly, meaning it is a used part that retains the original BMW specification. This solution is cost-effective while allowing you to maintain the original character of the interior without the need for aftermarket replacements with different textures or leather shades. A used seat backrest is a good choice for accident repairs, replacing a component with damaged upholstery, or gradual interior restoration.

Interior expansion and tuning

Replacing the rear seat backrest with a leather one can be part of a broader cabin modernization project, including changing front seats, the steering wheel, or other upholstery elements.
