Purpose and fitment for BMW X3 E83 LCI

The presented headrest has been designed specifically for the BMW X3 E83 facelift (LCI) model, intended for the front of the vehicle – both on the left and right side. The bracket design and guide spacing correspond to the factory seats of this model, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original geometry of the seat and backrest.

The item is part of the BMW OEM equipment, ensuring stylistic consistency with other interior components – the leather texture, cushion shape, and stitching lines are matched to the standard used in the X3 E83 LCI.

Construction and functional properties

The headrest is made of leather upholstery, which increases comfort and makes it easier to keep the cabin clean. The leather provides a pleasant-to-touch yet wear-resistant material that works well with the standard seat upholstery in this model.

The cushion profile has been shaped to stably support the head and upper spine while driving, reducing fatigue on longer trips. The headrest construction works with the seat height adjustment, allowing for ergonomic positioning relative to the driver's or passenger's height.

Condition of the item and service application

The product comes from disassembly and is offered as a used original BMW part. This is a good solution in situations where it is necessary to replace a headrest after a collision, mechanical damage, or upholstery wear, and the priority is to maintain the factory character of the interior without the need to invest in a new set of seats.

Using an original headrest from the secondary market allows for reducing repair costs while maintaining compliance with factory safety and ergonomics standards. Installation is performed in place of the standard part, without the need for seat construction modifications.

Benefits of choosing an original leather headrest

• Visual consistency of the interior – maintaining the original look of the BMW X3 E83 LCI cabin.
• Factory fitment for front seats on the left and right side.
• Leather upholstery for easy cleaning and daily use.
• Possibility of economical repair or replacing a missing element.
• No modifications required – installation in place of the standard headrest.
