Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented headrest is dedicated for installation in the rear interior of the BMW F23, with the possibility of use on the left or right side. This solution facilitates matching the item to the specific configuration of the rear seat, regardless of whether you are replacing a single headrest or supplementing a missing component. The construction is compatible with factory mounting points, which promotes hassle-free installation and maintains the correct position relative to the seat back.

Material and Color Scheme – Brown Dakota Leather

The used Dakota leather is a popular finish in BMW, valued for its balanced combination of durability and aesthetics. The brown shade of the upholstery fits the character of premium interiors, harmonizing well with factory door panels, dashboard, and other seat elements. Thanks to this, the headrest helps maintain a uniform cabin color scheme, which is important both from the perspective of visual ergonomics and the vehicle's value on the secondary market.

Functional Characteristics and Installation Benefits

As an item from the Other Seat Parts group, the headrest serves to support the safety and comfort of rear seat passengers. Its appropriately selected shape and height adjustability (in accordance with the factory design of BMW F23 seats) promote proper head support during driving. Choosing an original component from the same model line reduces the risk of fitting issues and minimizes the need for upholstery or mounting modifications.

A used item offers a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the original interior character. For many BMW users, this is a practical way to restore the completeness of the rear seat after damage or wear of one of the headrests, without the need to invest in a full set of new components.

Selecting the Correct Part by Numbers and Parameters

To correctly select the headrest for a specific BMW F23 version, it is advisable to verify compatibility using the OEM part number and available replacement numbers in the technical specifications tab. This allows you to ensure that the chosen item will work with the existing upholstery, seat back structure, and mounting system in your vehicle. Additionally, comparing the color and texture of the Dakota leather with the current interior finish is helpful to avoid shade differences between individual headrests.
