Purpose and fitment for BMW E87 LCI

The backrest has been designed specifically for the rear seat of the BMW 1 Series E87 after the facelift (LCI), intended for the left side in the second row of seats. Thanks to the factory design geometry, the correct mounting points, tilt angle, and profiling are maintained, which translates into secure seating in the body and stable support for passengers.

The item belongs to the Seats and benches group, meaning it is an integral part of the seating system and works with the other segments of the rear seat to create a uniform, functional passenger space.

Material and performance characteristics

The anthracite leather finish gives the interior a subdued, elegant character, typical of BMW cabins. The leather surface is resistant to daily use while being easy to maintain, which helps keep the upholstery in good visual condition.

The backrest profile has been shaped with ergonomics in mind – proper profiling in the lumbar and side zones helps stabilize the passengers' posture while driving. The rear seat backrest also influences interior acoustics, acting as a barrier between the cabin and the luggage compartment.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The backrest is intended for installation in the rear of the vehicle, on the left side. This placement requires maintaining the correct orientation of the element relative to the body and matching it to the adjacent seat segments. The design intended for a specific position in the car facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of improper fitment.

When replacing the backrest, it is worth paying attention to:

• the condition of the body mounts and their compatibility with the new element,
• proper connection with the seat base and the middle part of the bench,
• maintaining the continuity of the upholstery lines and gaps between segments.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered item comes from the secondary market, which allows for economical repair or refreshing of the interior without the need to invest in a new part. A used rear seat backrest is a reasonable choice in the event of mechanical damage, abrasions, or local upholstery destruction in the previously installed element.

By choosing such a component, you gain factory fitment to the BMW structure and visual consistency with other interior elements, while maintaining a favorable cost-to-effect ratio.

Comfort and aesthetics of the BMW interior

The anthracite leather backrest harmoniously blends with typical BMW E87 LCI interior configurations, emphasizing the characteristic, functional design of the cabin. Replacing a worn element with the presented model allows you to restore a uniform shade of upholstery, reduce the visibility of previous damage, and improve the overall visual impression of the rear interior.

For drivers and passengers, this means a more organized space, better comfort during longer journeys, and higher satisfaction with daily car use.
