Purpose and fitment

The presented rear seat backrest has been designed specifically for the BMW E88 convertible body style, intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle. The component belongs to the Seats and Benches group, ensuring it fits perfectly into the factory interior architecture without the need for structural modifications.

The backrest is dedicated to rear seat installation, allowing for the restoration of a consistent look in the rear passenger area following mechanical damage, upholstery wear, or partial interior renovation.

Material and color

The cover is made of genuine Boston leather, characteristic of high-end BMW equipment. This type of upholstery provides a pleasant-to-the-touch surface, good durability, and ease of maintenance with proper care.

The backrest comes in a blue color variant, matched to factory BMW E88 interior configurations. As a result, this element can be used both as a repair part and as an aesthetic addition when partially replacing rear seat upholstery.

Function in the vehicle and benefits of installation

The rear seat backrest in a convertible is responsible not only for passenger comfort but also for stable back support and a cohesive finish of the rear cabin. Replacing a worn component with an original Boston leather backrest allows you to:

• restore the aesthetics of the rear seat after scuffs, cracks, or discoloration of the upholstery,
• maintain a uniform interior look consistent with BMW factory specifications,
• preserve proper fitment with side panels, seat cushions, and other rear cabin trim elements,
• increase the visual appeal of the vehicle's interior for resale.

The original backrest from this series is structurally prepared for installation at the manufacturer's designated mounting points, which facilitates the work for an upholsterer or an interior restoration workshop.

Characteristics of the used product

The item comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical replacement of the rear backrest while maintaining original BMW specifications. Used interior components are a popular choice for comprehensive renovations, as they allow for matching the texture and shade of the leather to other parts of the upholstery that also have operational mileage.

Choosing an original, used rear seat backrest is particularly beneficial for vehicles where the priority is maintaining the factory character of the interior rather than full customization.
