Purpose and compatibility

This component is designed as a front right seat backrest cover, dedicated to the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation after the facelift (LCI). Thanks to the factory mounting geometry and the correct backrest profile, the part allows for the preservation of seating ergonomics and proper back support in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Material and finish

The cover is made of leather upholstery in the Oyster shade, characteristic of premium BMW interior configurations. The leather provides:

• a pleasant-to-the-touch, smooth surface that is easy to keep clean,
• adequate resistance to daily wear and tear,
• a consistent look with other upholstery elements in the same color.

By maintaining the original structure and stitching, the cover allows for an aesthetic restoration of the backrest without visual differences compared to the remaining seats.

Function in the seat assembly

The backrest cover serves as the outer layer of the front right seat, working in conjunction with the foam, frame, and adjustment mechanisms. A correctly selected component:

• stabilizes the shape of the backrest and maintains the line of the side bolsters,
• ensures even pressure distribution on the user's back,
• reduces the risk of further damage to the foam and seat structure.

Replacing worn or cracked upholstery with an original cover allows you to restore the interior's aesthetics and improve perceived seating comfort without the need to purchase a complete seat.

Characteristics of the used part

The item comes from dismantling, which means it is an original BMW part with preserved factory material and dimensional specifications. A used backrest cover is a cost-effective solution that simultaneously allows you to maintain the interior to the OEM standard, without the differences in shade or texture typical of low-quality aftermarket replacements.

Application in interior restoration

The BMW 3 E90 E91 LCI Front Right O/S Seat Backrest Cover Leather Oyster is suitable both for local repair of a damaged backrest and for broader cabin modernization when you want to preserve the original character of the 3 Series E90/E91 LCI. Replacing this element is particularly recommended when the backrest shows signs of abrasion, cracking, or discoloration that affect the overall perception of the interior.
