Purpose and fitment

The backrest is dedicated to installation in the front row on the passenger side, in accordance with the placement on vehicle parameter. This ensures the correct seating position, back support, and ergonomics intended by the BMW manufacturer.

The item comes from the BMW equipment line, which ensures stylistic consistency with other interior components and proper fitment to the seat structure. Choosing an original backrest from this series reduces the risk of installation issues and non-factory modifications.

Technical and structural characteristics

The backrest has been designed as an integral part of the front seat, maintaining appropriate structural rigidity and stability. The construction is prepared to work with the standard seat frame, rails, and other seat components.

The product belongs to the Seats and benches category, meaning it is a component responsible for driving comfort, proper back support, and a safe passenger position. Using an original backrest helps maintain the correct seating line and even load distribution during use.

Condition, origin, and identification

The backrest is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical seat repair while maintaining the original BMW specification. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs, replacing worn upholstery, or refreshing the vehicle's interior.

Product identification in the store system is carried out via the stock keeping unit, and vehicle compatibility can be further verified based on the OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers. For users utilizing manufacturer markings, the information regarding the brand, which confirms its origin from the BMW group, will also be relevant.

Practical application and user comfort

Using this backrest in a post-facelift BMW 3 Series allows for the restoration of full passenger seat functionality, especially in situations where the previous element has suffered mechanical damage or significant wear. Replacing the backrest is a frequently chosen solution during interior renovation when maintaining the factory look and construction is a priority.

The tire aspect ratio parameter visible in the technical specification is linked to the parts cataloging system and does not directly affect the function of the backrest, but it may be helpful for advanced component selection within a single vehicle data set.
