Purpose and Fitment for BMW E87

The central headrest is intended for installation in the rear interior of the BMW 1 Series E87, in place of the factory mounting point. The construction, compliant with manufacturer standards, allows for the preservation of the original seat line and the correct operation of the backrest folding mechanism, if present in the car's configuration. This ensures the component integrates well with other headrests and upholstery, without the need for modifications.

Material, Color, and Finish

The black Boston leather used matches BMW's factory finishes, making it easy to maintain a uniform interior appearance after replacing the part. The material's texture is chosen for everyday use – resistant to typical wear and tear and easy to maintain with standard car leather care products. The neutral black shade complements both light and dark dashboard elements.

Functionality of the Foldable Headrest

The central headrest features a folding mechanism that allows its position to be adjusted as needed. In practice, this translates to:

• better head support for rear passengers,
• improved rear visibility when the headrest is folded down,
• easier use of luggage space when folding the rear seat backrest.

This design supports the ergonomics of the rear cabin and allows for more flexible use of the interior in daily driving.

Characteristics of a Used Item

The offered headrest is a used item, sourced from dismantling. This means the original BMW specifications are retained while reducing costs compared to a new part. It's a sensible solution for accident repairs, replacing a damaged headrest, or restoring the completeness of the rear seat after previous modifications.

Support for Selection and Tuning with Used Parts

When upgrading the interior of a BMW 1 Series, it's advisable to plan modifications cohesively – combining headrest replacement with other upholstery elements to maintain a uniform cabin character. If you are interested in a broader use of second-hand components for your project, you can find practical tips in the article Tuning with Used Parts – How to Gain Performance Without Losing a Fortune, which describes how to safely and consciously select used components.
