Purpose and fitment for BMW F40

The element is designed as a side cover / bolster for the rear bench in the BMW 1 Series F40 generation, mounted on the right side of the rear passenger cabin. Thanks to its factory geometry and mounting points, it ensures proper fitment with the bench structure and interior side panels, which translates into stable positioning and the absence of unwanted play during operation. Its placement in the rear part of the vehicle on the right side allows for the precise replacement of only the fragment that has worn out or been damaged, without the need to interfere with other upholstery elements.

Materials and finish

The bolster is finished in a black tone, which facilitates integration with most factory BMW F40 interior configurations. The leather covering provides a pleasant-to-the-touch surface and an aesthetic, orderly look for the rear bench. This type of finish works well with both standard fabric-leather upholstery and full leather, allowing for visual consistency across the entire rear bench. The properly shaped surface of the side bolster supports stable seating and limits upholstery movement, which is important for daily vehicle use, transporting passengers, and folding the backrests.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered component comes from disassembly, meaning it is a used part that retains its factory construction and original materials. This solution is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain compliance with OEM equipment and reduce interior repair costs compared to purchasing a new part. A used component also allows for a better visual match with the remaining upholstery fragments, which have also already undergone a certain period of use. Choosing an original, used rear bench bolster is a reasonable compromise between build quality and the budget allocated for refreshing the passenger cabin.

Benefits of installing the rear bench side bolster

Using this element in a BMW F40 allows you to:

• restore full functionality and aesthetics of the right part of the rear bench after mechanical damage or upholstery wear,
• maintain a consistent interior look thanks to the black leather surface matched to the factory BMW style,
• preserve the original seat construction without the need for modifications or adapting universal parts,
• reduce interior repair costs by using a used OEM component.
