Purpose and Fitment

Thanks to its factory origin, dimensional and structural compatibility with the original guides and height adjustment mechanisms in the rear seatbacks is maintained.

Material and Finish

The headrest is made from black Boston leather, characteristic of the BMW 1 Series E87 interiors. This type of upholstery is distinguished by its uniform texture and understated color, allowing for an aesthetic match with other cabin elements.

Key finishing features:

• black color matching the factory seats of the BMW 1 Series E87,
• consistent design with the interior's styling line,
• comfortable support surface for the passenger's head.

Function and Safety

The headrest plays a crucial role in protecting the cervical spine during daily vehicle operation. A properly selected and correctly positioned element reduces strain during sudden braking and in typical road situations.

Replacing a missing or worn headrest with an original BMW part restores the factory level of ergonomics to the rear seat and improves passenger travel comfort.

This product falls under the category of Other Seat Parts and is primarily intended for service applications: filling gaps after collisions, upholstery repairs, or interior upgrades. It's a practical solution when you want to maintain the original character of the BMW 1 Series E87 cabin without replacing the entire seat.

The component is suitable for workshops specializing in the BMW brand as well as for users who are independently completing their vehicle's interior and expect factory fitment and cohesive aesthetics.
