Purpose and fitment for BMW i3 I01 LCI

The presented panel is designed for installation in the rear cabin area, on the left side, in the BMW i3 I01 generation model after the facelift (LCI). The vehicle placement is factory-defined, which facilitates correct installation and ensures proper alignment with the rear seat backrest and adjacent trim elements.

Thanks to a design consistent with the solutions used by the BMW brand, the panel maintains the interior's stylistic line and allows for the preservation of the original cabin character, without the need for modifications or fitting universal replacements.

Material and upholstery color

The element is made of leather upholstery, which enhances the utility and visual appeal of the rear seat. The leather provides a pleasant-to-touch surface, easier cleaning, and consistency with other leather interior fragments.

The brown color of the upholstery creates a harmonious composition with the light and dark finishes used in the BMW i3, fitting well into the concept of a modern yet understated interior. It is a suitable choice both when replacing a damaged panel and for subtle cabin personalization.

Function in the structure of seats and benches

The rear seat backrest side panel belongs to the Seats and benches group, responsible for the aesthetic finish and protection of the seat structure. Its purpose is to:

• cover the side part of the rear seat backrest on the left side,
• maintain a uniform line of upholstery in the rear interior,
• protect the backrest structure from dirt and minor mechanical damage.

A properly selected panel allows you to restore the factory look of the rear seat after disassembly, repairs, or replacement of other upholstery elements.

Condition and use in service and tuning

The offered panel comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive solution for economical repair or interior modernization. A used original part usually ensures a better fit than many replacements, while simultaneously allowing for cost reduction compared to new parts.

It can be successfully used both in professional body and upholstery services, as well as in workshops specializing in retrofits and equipping BMW i3 models, where compliance with factory specifications and maintaining consistent aesthetics are key.
