Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest is designed for installation on the front seats of BMW 3 Series E90/E91 LCI (facelift) models. The design allows for installation on both the left and right sides, making it easy to adapt to a specific interior configuration. The headrest is properly contoured to work with the standard seat geometry and maintain the ergonomics intended by the manufacturer.

Material and finish

The headrest upholstery is made of black leather, which allows for aesthetic integration into typical BMW E90/E91 LCI interior configurations. The leather surface provides a pleasant-to-touch, durable material that is resistant to daily use. The uniform color makes it easy to visually match the standard seats and other cabin elements without the need for upholstery modifications.

Function and comfort of use

The headrest plays a key role in stabilizing the head while driving, especially during sudden acceleration and braking. The properly selected height and angle (adjustment performed via seat mechanisms) allow for a comfortable position for both the driver and the passenger. The leather surface is easy to keep clean – typical dirt can be removed using dedicated leather care products, which helps maintain a consistent, well-kept interior look.

Characteristics of the used component

As a secondary market part, the headrest comes from vehicle disassembly, which means it retains the original manufacturer's specifications. This type of element is a good choice for users who want to restore full seat functionality while maintaining the factory build standard. The used component allows for an economical interior repair without sacrificing original BMW quality.

Application in service and interior modernization

Replacing the headrest is particularly recommended after mechanical damage, upholstery wear, or interference with the seat structure. Installation is carried out via the standard guides in the backrest, which allows technicians to perform the work efficiently without additional modifications. The element will work well both in standard post-accident repairs and when refreshing the cabin, when the priority is to maintain the original look of BMW headrests in the leather version. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the front seating area in your BMW and need other components from the same group, such as additional head supports, headrests with a different configuration, or compatible backrest modules, check the available parts in the BMW Headrests category.
