Intended Use and Function of the Component

The presented cover belongs to the Seat Covers category and is dedicated to the rear interior of the BMW 6 Series F12 LCI version. It covers the backrest area along with the armrest section, enabling a cohesive replacement of the entire upholstery in the rear passenger zone. The cover's construction is adapted to the standard mountings and backrest shape, facilitating precise installation and maintaining the correct seat profile.

Construction, Material, and Color Scheme

The cover is made of natural leather in Elfenbeinweiss color, characteristic of light, elegant BMW interior configurations. The leather surface provides a pleasant to the touch, smooth material that works well with the factory backrest foam. The integrated armrest part allows for a uniform color and texture across the entire width of the rear seat.

The geometry of the stitching and panel divisions is adapted to the standard backrest, which facilitates proper stretching of the cover and reduces the risk of creasing. This restores the vehicle's interior to an organized, aesthetic appearance, and the upholstery line remains consistent with the factory design.

Vehicle Placement and Installation Aspects

The cover is intended for installation in the rear cabin, on the backrest of the BMW F12 LCI rear seat. The element works with the standard seat construction, allowing for installation in place of the original upholstery without the need for structural modifications. Replacing the cover involves dismantling the old upholstery, properly preparing the foam, and stretching the new upholstery while maintaining the factory mounting points.

During installation, it is recommended to work in controlled workshop conditions, using appropriate upholstery tools. A correctly fitted cover ensures stable adhesion to the foam, which translates to user comfort and reduces material wear in critical areas.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Cover

Using an original rear backrest cover with an armrest in the BMW F12 LCI allows for:

• maintaining a cohesive interior color scheme in Elfenbeinweiss shade,
• preserving the factory shape and division of the backrest,
• improving the visual condition of the rear seat after wear or damage to the previous upholstery,
• easier resale of the vehicle thanks to a well-maintained interior.

This solution allows you to restore the vehicle's interior aesthetics in line with BMW's design, without the need for universal, ill-fitting covers.

Condition and Vehicle Fitment

The item comes from the BMW offering and is a used part, which ensures compatibility with the original interior finish and factory materials. To be certain of fitment for a specific vehicle configuration, it is advisable to verify compatibility with the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in the technical specification, especially when comparing different equipment and upholstery versions.
