Purpose and fitment for BMW E90/E91

The presented headrest is designed as a factory component for the rear seat of the BMW 3 Series E90/E91 generation. Its placement in the center of the backrest ensures proper head support for the passenger, which contributes to ride comfort and improves passive safety during daily vehicle use.

Thanks to its construction in accordance with BMW standards, the headrest maintains the correct geometry relative to the backrest, which facilitates installation in the original guides and allows for proper height adjustment.

Materials and finish

The black Dakota leather upholstery is matched to typical BMW E90/E91 interior configurations, ensuring the headrest blends well with the stock seats. The material structure has been developed for daily use, providing:

• adequate resistance to abrasion during frequent use,
• a neutral, universal look that fits most equipment variants,
• comfortable contact with the passenger's head and neck.

The black leather limits the visibility of typical operational dirt, making it easier to keep the interior in an aesthetic condition with standard maintenance.

Utility and ergonomics

The middle rear seat headrest plays an important role in the ergonomics and safety of passengers. Its properly selected shape and height allow for:

• stable support for the head of the passenger sitting in the middle seat,
• reduction of cervical spine strain during sudden braking,
• increased comfort on longer trips thanks to a more natural neck position.

For BMW E90/E91 owners, replacing a missing or damaged headrest with an original part is a simple way to restore the full functionality of the rear seat and maintain a consistent interior look.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered headrest is a used part, which allows for an economical interior repair while maintaining the original BMW specification. In practice, this means:

• the ability to visually match the other elements of the rear seat,
• preservation of the factory construction and dimensions,
• an attractive cost-to-functionality ratio compared to new replacements.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a missing headrest after previous removal or when changing the interior to a different variant.
