Purpose and fitment

The presented seat backrest is a component from the Seats and benches group, designed for the rear left part of the vehicle's interior. The structure is prepared to work with the factory mounting points in the body, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original seat geometry. As a result, the backrest integrates well with the remaining rear seat elements without the need for structural modifications.

Upholstery material and performance characteristics

The backrest is finished with textile material upholstery in anthracite, consistent with the Vertex trim line. The fabric provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, visually neutral material that blends well with most BMW interior color configurations. The material structure is suitable for daily use, and the carefully selected shade reduces the visibility of typical operational dirt.

The cloth finish of the rear backrest is particularly beneficial for users who expect stable back support for passengers and predictable upholstery behavior in varying temperature conditions. The backrest is a functional element that restores the full utility of the rear seat after mechanical damage or wear of the previous component.

Condition, origin, and service application

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used original BMW component. This type of part is particularly useful for:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• replacing a worn or frayed seat backrest,
• completing the interior after conversions or seat configuration changes.

Choosing an original backrest from the same model series allows for maintaining visual and structural consistency of the interior, and also facilitates installation compared to universal replacements. The product is suitable for users who want to restore the factory look of the cabin without interfering with the seat structure.

Benefits of using an original seat backrest

Using an original rear seat backrest in a BMW translates into several practical benefits:

• Stylistic interior consistency – maintaining the same trim line and upholstery color throughout the rear seat.
• Factory fitment – the backrest works with original mounts and structural seat elements.
• Rational repair cost – a used OEM element allows for restoring the interior without the need for full seat reupholstery.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear seat area in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as seat cushions, headrests, or additional backrest segments, check the available parts in the BMW Seats and benches category.
