For users who value maintaining original equipment, the use of a BMW leather headrest is a technically and visually consistent solution with the rest of the interior.

This is a good solution in case of damage to factory equipment, replacement of a single seat, or completing the interior after a renovation. Thanks to the preservation of the original mounting geometry, the headrest can be integrated into the existing headrest height adjustment system.
