Purpose and compatibility with the BMW 1 Series

The presented headrest is designed for installation on the rear bench of the BMW E81/E87, with the ability to be installed on either the right or left side. As a result, it can serve as a replacement part if the original headrest is damaged, or as a supplement to missing rear seat equipment. The construction is compatible with the factory mounting system, which facilitates installation and ensures a stable fit in the seat backrest.

Upholstery material and color scheme

The fabric upholstery used has been selected for its durability and resistance to daily wear and tear. The material structure promotes comfort, prevents the head from sliding, and works well with the backrest during long journeys. The blue finish allows for consistency with the original interior layout in versions equipped with this color scheme, which is essential for a technically correct cabin restoration.

Safety and comfort function

The rear seat headrest plays an important role in protecting the cervical spine of passengers, especially during sudden braking or rear-end collisions. A properly selected and correctly installed component:

• stabilizes the passenger's head position in the rear row,
• reduces the risk of injuries associated with excessive neck movement,
• supports an ergonomic body position during longer drives.

Therefore, replacing a worn or missing headrest with a functional unit is an important step in restoring the full functionality of the rear bench.

Characteristics of the used product

The item comes from disassembly, meaning it is a used part that retains the factory geometry and construction intended by the manufacturer. Such components are often chosen for interior repairs because they allow for maintaining consistency with the original seat design while reducing costs compared to new replacements. In the case of headrests, this is particularly important for maintaining a uniform look of the rear bench.

Eco-tuning and the use of recycled parts

Instead of reaching for a new component, you are utilizing an already manufactured item, which aligns with the principles of eco-tuning and responsible vehicle operation.
