Purpose and fitment

The backrest is specifically designed for installation on the front – right side, which ensures proper back support geometry and compatibility with the passenger seat structure in the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI. Thanks to its factory origin, the original mounting points are preserved, facilitating installation and allowing for seamless integration with the existing seat frame.

The element is made of textile material, which promotes comfort during daily use – the fabric provides stable body support, is breathable, and works well with the standard upholstery used in this model.

Backrest construction and function

The backrest is a key part of the seat structure, responsible for supporting the spine and stabilizing the body while driving. This BMW model features profiling tailored to the characteristics of the E87 LCI interior, which translates into:

• a finish consistent with other seat elements,
• appropriate structural rigidity while maintaining comfort,
• the ability to utilize existing seat adjustment mechanisms.

By maintaining the original geometry, the backrest works with standard rails and mechanisms, allowing for the preservation of the ergonomics intended by the manufacturer.

Use in service and interior restoration

This element is particularly useful for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged backrest, or for gradual interior restoration of a BMW. Using a pre-owned cloth backrest allows for cost savings compared to new components while maintaining the original character of the cabin. It is a practical solution for workshops specializing in the BMW brand and for users upgrading their interior themselves.
