Purpose and compatibility with BMW 3 E90 LCI

The presented backrest is an item from the Seats and benches category, designed for installation in the rear right section of the BMW 3 Series E90 generation after the facelift (LCI). The construction matches the factory seat profile, which facilitates installation in place of the original backrest without the need for structural modifications.

The component is prepared as a replacement for the original backrest upholstery, allowing for the aesthetic replacement of a single segment of the rear bench instead of the entire assembly. This helps to limit the scope of upholstery work while maintaining the consistency of the interior lines and ergonomics.

Material and characteristics of Dakota Oyster leather

The backrest is made of Dakota leather upholstery in Oyster color, characteristic of light, elegant BMW interior configurations. Dakota leather is a material with a distinct texture that withstands daily use well, while providing a pleasant tactile contact with the seat surface.

The light Oyster shade optically brightens the cabin, improving the impression of spaciousness in the rear of the interior. At the same time, the leather texture facilitates easier cleaning when using appropriate care products designed for leather upholstery.

Function in the rear bench and user comfort

The rear right seat backrest is responsible for stable passenger back support and maintaining the proper geometry of the bench. The properly contoured surface works with the other elements of the rear bench, ensuring:

• consistent back support along the entire height of the backrest,
• maintenance of the factory seat line in the BMW 3 Series E90 LCI,
• aesthetic connection with adjacent bench segments.

Thanks to the use of original leather upholstery, the backrest integrates well with other interior elements, which is important when partially replacing upholstery after mechanical damage or wear and tear.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using a used part

The backrest comes from dismantling as a used BMW component, which allows for maintaining the original character of the interior without the need to use replacements with a different structure or shade. For many users, this is a beneficial solution for interior renovation, as it allows for matching the existing upholstery without significant visual differences.

Using an original backrest from the secondary market is also a way to reduce costs while maintaining the factory material specification. In practice, this translates into a more harmonious look of the rear bench and the preservation of the level of comfort typical for BMW.
