Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the middle seat position. The construction has been developed for the seat geometry of the BMW E81/E87 series, ensuring proper seating in the guides and stable head support for the passenger. As a result, the element integrates with the backrest line without compromising ergonomics or rear visibility.

Material and color

The upholstery is made of functional fabric, selected for its resistance to daily use and ease of maintenance. The grey, anthracite shade of the headrest is characteristic of BMW interiors with textile upholstery, allowing for an aesthetic addition or replacement of the factory element without color discrepancies. The uniform structure of the material helps maintain a consistent style for the rear seat.

Comfort and safety

The rear middle headrest plays an important role in protecting the passenger's neck and head, especially during sudden braking or rear-end collisions. The properly selected height and profiling support a correct seating position, which translates into a more comfortable journey on longer trips. Using an original BMW component helps maintain compliance with the factory design assumptions of the seat system.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used part, the headrest retains its factory geometry and mounting method, which facilitates installation in place of an existing element. This solution allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or missing headrest while maintaining the original manufacturing standard. Choosing such a component is particularly beneficial when restoring a vehicle's interior while preserving the consistency of materials and colors.
