Purpose and fitment for BMW F12/F13

The presented headrest is designed specifically for the rear seat of the BMW 6 Series F12/F13 convertible and coupé. The design, intended for installation on the right or left side of the rear seat, allows for flexible use of the component when replacing a single headrest or completing a missing set in the interior. Thanks to the factory mounting points, installation is straightforward for an upholsterer or mechanic, with no need for seat frame modifications.

Material and finish – black leather

The headrest is made of black leather upholstery, consistent with the premium BMW interior trim line. The leather surface provides:

• a consistent look with factory seats and door panels,
• easier maintenance compared to textile materials,
• appropriate rigidity and shape stability during daily use.

Choosing original leather upholstery allows you to maintain the characteristic, understated look of the BMW interior, without any differences in shade or texture compared to other seat components.

Passenger safety and comfort function

The rear seat headrest plays an important role in protecting the cervical spine of passengers while driving. The properly selected shape and height of the head support help reduce strain during sudden braking or rear-end collisions. Correct adjustment of the headrest relative to the passenger's silhouette also improves comfort on longer trips by stabilizing the position of the head and neck.

Replacing a missing or damaged headrest with an original component dedicated to the BMW F12/F13 allows you to restore the ergonomics and safety parameters of the rear seat as designed by the manufacturer.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered headrest is a used part, sourced from dismantling. This means it retains its factory geometry, compatibility with the mounting system, and original surface finish. For workshops and individual users, this is a solution that allows for an economical interior repair while maintaining the vehicle's original specifications.

Integration with other BMW seat components

When renovating the rear seat, it is worth paying attention to the visual and technical consistency of the entire seat set.
