Intended Use and Fitment for BMW X5 E70

The presented item is a rear, left seat backrest specifically designed for the BMW X5 E70 model in a seven-seater configuration. Its placement on the left side of the second row of seats allows for the preservation of the original seat division and proper integration with the other segments of the rear bench.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the backrest maintains correct mounting points, recline angle, and alignment with the floor and interior trim panels, which facilitates installation and minimizes the need for additional upholstery or bodywork modifications.

Material, Color, and Finish

The backrest is upholstered in black Nappa leather. This material provides the understated aesthetics typical of BMW and is easy to maintain. Black leather effectively conceals minor signs of wear and tear and harmoniously complements most factory interior configurations of the X5 E70.

The leather surface of the backrest offers a pleasant tactile experience, while also being resistant to the typical stresses of use in the second row – frequent ingress and egress, passenger transport, and daily use in a family or fleet vehicle.

Function in a 7-Seater Configuration

This backrest is a component of the rear bench designed for configurations with a third row of seats. In practice, this means it:

• ensures a visually cohesive division of the second-row bench,
• allows for maintaining access functionality to the third row (depending on the specific vehicle configuration),
• provides proper back support for passengers seated on the left side in the rear.

This solution is particularly important when restoring full interior functionality after a collision, upholstery damage, or replacement of a single seat segment.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

This part is a used item from a dismantled vehicle, offered for economical interior repair while maintaining the original BMW equipment standard. This type of backrest is suitable for replacing a damaged module as well as for completing an interior conversion to a seven-seater version, provided the vehicle's configuration allows for it.

Due to its original construction, the backrest can be utilized by professional body and paint shops, BMW-specialized workshops, and discerning owners undertaking their own interior assembly.
