Purpose and fitment for BMW E87

The backrest is designed as a rear seat component for the left side, ensuring proper alignment with the seat base, seat belts, and interior door panels. Thanks to a design compliant with BMW factory standards, seat ergonomics, backrest geometry, and compatibility with original mounting points are maintained.

The grey, graphite upholstery color allows for aesthetic integration with other interior elements without the need for modifications or additional material matching. This is a practical solution when replacing a damaged backrest or performing a partial restoration of the rear bench.

Structural and functional characteristics

The left rear seat backrest plays a key role in the comfort of second-row passengers. The structure is prepared for operation within the factory seating system of the BMW E87, which means:

• maintaining the correct seating position for the rear left passenger,
• proper back support along the entire height of the backrest,
• consistent connection with the central and right parts of the bench (if present in the vehicle),
• fitment to original safety elements in the rear part of the cabin.

The subdued, grey shade of the upholstery in a graphite tone helps maintain the interior in a neutral, elegant style characteristic of BMW. Replacing the backrest alone allows for a visual refresh of the rear cabin without the need to interfere with other seat elements.

Condition, origin, and practical application

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used OEM BMW component, which in practice means factory-level fitment to the body and interior structure. This is a beneficial solution for users who want to restore the full functionality of the rear bench after mechanical damage, upholstery wear, or interior modifications.

Choosing an original backrest from the Seats and benches group reduces the risk of installation problems typical of aftermarket replacements, such as inaccurate fitment, differences in material shade, or incompatibility of mounts. The product is suitable for both post-accident repairs and gradual cabin restoration.

Benefits of installing an original rear seat backrest

By choosing to install this backrest in your BMW E87, you gain a number of practical advantages:

• Consistent interior look – the graphite, grey color makes it easy to maintain a uniform style for the rear bench.
• Factory fitment – the element is prepared for operation in a specific model, which promotes trouble-free installation.
• Savings compared to new parts – a used OEM component allows for cost reduction while maintaining appropriate build quality.
• Possibility of staged restoration – you replace only the damaged backrest without the need to interfere with other seat elements.

This solution is particularly beneficial for those who want to restore travel comfort for rear passengers and visually organize the cabin after intensive use.
