Purpose and fitment for BMW 1 Series E87

The presented backrest is a rear seat component mounted on the left side of the BMW 1 Series E87. The structure is designed for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of the original component and allows for maintaining the consistency of the interior lines. This solution is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery, or restoring the completeness of the rear seat.

Upholstery material and color

The backrest is made of leather upholstery, which provides a pleasant-to-touch surface and is easier to keep clean compared to textile materials. The Alaskagrau grey shade has been selected to match the factory BMW color palette, ensuring the element harmoniously blends with the original interior finish without the "mismatched" effect from another model.

Functional application in the rear cabin

The leather rear seat backrest on the left side is responsible for the comfort of rear passengers and the aesthetic finish of the rear cabin. Replacing this element is recommended when:

• the original backrest is worn, cracked, or mechanically damaged,
• there is staining that cannot be removed satisfactorily,
• you are completing the interior after disassembly or rear seat modernization.

By using original leather upholstery, you maintain the consistent character of the interior, and the rear seat regains its full functionality and aesthetics.

Benefits of using an original leather backrest

Using an original rear seat backrest in the BMW 1 Series E87 brings a number of functional and visual benefits. The most important include:

• Factory fitment to the interior structure – maintaining the correct geometry and alignment with the seat cushion and side panels.
• Consistent color of the grey upholstery with other interior elements.
• The ability to restore the aesthetic appearance of the rear seat without the need for full interior reupholstery.
• A cost-effective solution compared to full custom re-upholstering.

Installation area and related interior components

The backrest is mounted in the rear of the cabin on the left side, working in conjunction with the seat cushion, seat belts, and side upholstery panels. When planning work, it is worth considering the condition of other rear seat elements to achieve a uniform visual effect and comfort of use. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the rear seating area in your BMW and need other parts from the same group, such as backrests, seat cushions, or complete seats, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and Benches category.
