Purpose and fitment

The element has been specifically designed for the rear seat bench on the right side of the 3 Series E46 coupe body, ensuring a precise fit to the shape of the seat and the side trim. As part of the Door upholstery group, it contributes to a visually cohesive and functional finish for the rear passenger area.

The factory mounting geometry facilitates installation in place of the original finisher without the need for structural modifications. It is a practical solution when replacing worn, damaged, or incomplete rear seat bench trim.

Material and finish

The finisher is made of high-quality Montana leather, used by the factory in BMW models as a premium-class finish. The material structure provides a pleasant-to-the-touch surface while offering appropriate resistance to the daily use of the rear seat.

The leather finish improves the visual consistency of the interior, especially in vehicles equipped with leather seat upholstery. The element integrates well with side panels and other upholstery components, concealing structural parts of the bodywork.

Technical function and comfort

The lateral seat finisher serves several important functions in the rear part of the cabin:

• masks the side structural zones near the rear seat, improving interior aesthetics,
• stabilizes the edge of the seat and limits upholstery movement,
• creates an additional protective barrier between the seat and the side body structure,
• supports the maintenance of a uniform finish line in the rear part of the vehicle.

This improves both the visual perception of the rear seat and the daily comfort of passengers, especially during longer journeys.

Condition and service application

As a used part, this element is a cost-effective solution for interior repairs and renovations, allowing you to maintain the original BMW specification without the need to resort to replacements with different structures or shades. It is a practical choice for:

• replacing a damaged or cracked lateral seat finisher,
• partial restoration of the rear seat bench after bodywork and painting,
• restoring the factory look of the interior in modified cars.

Integration with other BMW upholstery elements

In vehicles where a broader renovation of the rear cabin is planned, the selection of appropriate upholstery elements is crucial for color and quality consistency.
