Purpose and compatibility with BMW

The presented headrest is designed as a rear bench component for selected versions of the BMW E87 LCI, E90, and E91. Its construction, based on factory BMW solutions, allows for installation into the original backrest guides without the need for modifications to the upholstery or seat frame. This ensures full compatibility with the standard seat geometry and maintains the correct head support height.

Its placement in the rear of the cabin helps improve passenger comfort during long journeys while maintaining a consistent, factory-original interior character. This is particularly important for vehicles where preserving the original seat configuration is a priority.

Material and finish – black Dakota leather

The headrest is upholstered in Black, matching the popular BMW black Dakota leather. This type of finish is characterized by a uniform texture that withstands daily use well while being easy to keep clean. The color scheme, matched to standard BMW interiors, allows for aesthetic integration with existing upholstery without visible shade differences.

The carefully contoured headrest cushion provides stable neck support, which reduces fatigue during driving and promotes a correct seating position. This is especially important when transporting passengers on the rear bench, where proper head support impacts both comfort and safety.

Functional characteristics of the rear bench component

As an item from the Other seat parts category, the headrest serves as a complementary element for the rear bench, restoring its full functionality. It is suitable both for replacing a damaged part and for situations where one of the headrests is missing due to previous removal.

• Head support tailored to the geometry of standard BMW seats.
• Color scheme consistent with the black interior finish, with no need to change other upholstery elements.
• Compatible with factory rear bench backrest guides.
• A suitable solution for restoring the original seat configuration.

By maintaining the factory form, the headrest does not disrupt the ergonomics of the rear bench, and its installation does not require any interference with the seat structure.

Condition and practical application

The offered headrest is a used part, allowing for an economical way to complete the interior equipment while maintaining the original origin of the component. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, interior restoration, or preparing a vehicle for resale, where visual and technical consistency with other seat elements is essential.
