Characteristics and purpose

The presented backrest is dedicated to the rear bench on the left side for the BMW E82 coupe body style. The construction is designed for factory mounting points, ensuring the component fits original rails, latches, and folding systems, which facilitates installation and subsequent use.

The black upholstery in the Sensatec Flashpoint half-leather finish allows for a cohesive integration with the stock interior, especially in configurations with a sporty or elegant character. This solution is suitable both for replacing a damaged backrest and for refreshing the cabin after intensive use.

Material and finish

The backrest is made using half-leather technology, combining synthetic Sensatec upholstery with textile inserts. This configuration provides a balanced compromise between durability and comfort, while also making the surface easy to keep clean during daily use.

The black color of the upholstery effectively masks typical operational dirt and is visually neutral, making it easy to match with various interior trim variants. The Sensatec Flashpoint half-leather finish gives the rear bench a more refined, modern look, similar to higher trim levels.

Functionality in the rear cabin

The backrest has been designed with the daily use of the rear bench in a coupe body style in mind, where access to the rear is limited. Precise fitment to the body structure facilitates folding and unfolding the backrest, as well as working with factory seat belts and other rear interior components.

Replacing the backrest with an original part from dismantling allows you to restore the correct geometry and stability of the rear bench, which is important both for passenger comfort and for proper support of luggage transported with the seats folded down.

Benefits of using an original BMW backrest

Using an original rear seat backrest from a BMW E82 Coupe ensures:

• factory fitment to the body structure and mounting points,
• visual consistency with other upholstery elements,
• preservation of the ergonomics and functionality of the rear bench,
• the possibility of aesthetic interior renovation while maintaining an OEM character.
